And The Waters Receded

Doing much better these days.  That’s not to say I feel no pain over the loved ones I lost…   It just means that I am starting the healing process.   I’m not trying to rush it along, by any means.   I know that it is both normal and healthy to let grief run its course.  To let it out when the need arises.  

But I also understand that it’s not healthy to stay in the heaviest stages of grieving for too long.  Not mentally, emotionally or physically.  Eventually, your body is going to say,

“Look, you’ve GOT to eat, get some good sleep, and give your eyes and your head a rest from crying.  Get out and get some fresh air.  Do something that makes you feel better!”

I think that our loved ones understand when we do this.    Especially when we start to realize that we have been depending on them for strength, stability and direction for so long, and now it’s time to start providing all those things for ourselves. 

Dad, Mom, I love you both—and I can feel you standing behind me, encouraging me to be positive and adventurous, just like you.
