Nice to see you. I lost my fiance on December 17, 2003 in a vehicle accident. We were to be married on my following birthday, May 19. I have been on a very long journey and am happy to say that I am doing quite well. I am most grateful for the lessons that I have learned and the emotional and spiritual growth that I have been blessed with having gone through this. After almost 6 years I feel that I am beginning to thrive again and want to share some hope for a fulfilling existence after losing a loved one. Thanks for visiting. My blog is your blog so please add to 'our' blog, or e-mail me directly if you'd prefer, so that we may learn from and support each other. I now spend my time trying to provide a better existence for all the furry friends that bring us so much joy. See me at http://www.facebook.com/#/pages/PetFitNation/248679747257?ref=ts and become a fan of the Nation! Best, Judy
Take the good days, be grateful, and run with them. Take the bad days, respect them, and embrace them. This is where we are and it does NOT mean that we are losing ground or going backward.
AMEN! What you write is like a hug to those of us who have lost loved ones. You give permission to us to feel our grief and fears. Most of those around us...even those who truly love us, want and expect us to just "shake it off". When we can't do that within their timetable, we are left with feeling guilty and inadequate. We hide our feelings in order not to be judged. How toxic is that?!
