BLESSINGS
I
can count my blessings, having 53 years with my life partner, Betty.
Our Children, Grandchildren, and Great Grandchildren. I will enjoy
and find contentment in being thankful for what I have.
I choose to
help others through these difficult times and give hope to someone
in the same situation. Hope for everything, expect nothing and
accept what I have.
I will hope for everything, accept
disappointments, be on the lookout for goodness and beauty and take
solace in love that tempers my losses.
There is no right way to
grieve, no timetable or schedule for grieving.
Despite the
certainty that death will enter into our lives, most of us are
unprepared for it.
You don't get over grief. You learn to live
with it.
I can remain right where I am for the rest of my life or go
forward. It is my choice. I chose to go forward.
The grieving
process has no shortcuts as the pain gets easier. This is one of
the most tense, frightening and difficult, emotional experiences of
my life.
My whole life is turned upside down.
My friends often
withdraw because they need to protect their own emotions not wanting
to bring up the subject leaving me feeling isolated and unsupported.
I have asked them to just call and ask how I'm doing.
Many people
will walk in and out of our lives but only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart.
The "Not normal is normal".
