Grieving

I am still breathing. I have to say that I don't find many things "fun" at the moment. I wonder if I'll ever be happy again. Or maybe it's just "when" will I feel happiness again. I realize I'll feel better at some point.

So I've decided to get a grip and clean this house up, and get out of it more. That's hard because my dog is getting old and I work all day. I don't want her later years to be spent missing me. So I'm going to do what I can.

I'm just glad the "Holidays" are pretty much over. I went through the motions and walked through them. On the other side it's just mundane and difficult.

But I will wake tomorrow and put forth more effort to have my surroundings help me mood. That's my first step....

Love to all,

I bolded and highlighted just a snipet because it made me stop and think for a moment....I still have those huge crashing waves of grief that Andrew mentioned, but the MAJORITY of the time I am happy and moving on!

It sounds trite, and at the time you think "oh yeah, you don't understand MY grief", but when people say that time dulls the grief, they are so right.

Hang in there Mr. Moon, it really does get better.
