Thanks everyone. My wife appreciates all the cares and comments. Maybe I'll be able to convince her to come hang here with us rather than on Facebook with her mom.
I hear you. Went through my own anniversaries of those lost last month and it knocked me out for two weeks straight before I could get my head around writing again.
Don't let guilt be one of the emotions. We feel what we feel. We remember, usually not when we'd like to, and often times, at the worst possible time.
I filled my time with memories- as many good ones as I could pack into my quiet time. I focused on watching the birds at the feeder outside my office window. Did the bare minimum at work. Tried to enjoy time with friends.
Eventually, it passed.
I've found that sometimes talking to them helps, even though they can't hear. Do the things that give you joy and peace, and most of all, forgive yourself for whatever wasn't done, wasn't said, or conversely, was. Let lavender winds ease your pain and remember, we're all here if you need us.
We all have possessions of some type. Tell us five possessions you can’t live without, and why they are on this list.
----------------------------------
Possesions? Well since I personally can't call my furbabies possessions, I will have to start with my wedding ring because of the love it symbolizes. My second choice is my house because I have been homeless before and I remember how it feels to be told you have nowhere to go. Third choice? It would have to be my computer and fourth is my phone because that is where my friends are, fictional and real. Fifth I would have to claim my printer as a prized possession because it is the final line of backup for everything I write and it allows me to share my writings with members of the family that just don't get technology.
