I have been retired for MANY years because of my physical and mental disabilities. But I never looked at it as grief and my feelings as grieving. You cracked something open in me with this post. I have a lot to think about now, and I thank you for it!

I just subscribed to you after reading your post. Thanks again! ✨

Thank you Michele. Go slow and easy with yourself. I believe if we listen the body knows when its the right time to explore, sit with and heal something. I’m finding its more about allowing rather than doing.

Thank you for putting words to something so many feel but struggle to explain.

2nd reading. This hits home. My wife’s son killed himself a decade ago. His birthday was on May 1. I never expect for her to outlive her grief. That boy was 4 years old, bulldozed his way out of every foster care and failed adoptees. Diandra was told if she takes him, she needs to promise this is his forever home. She and her ex committed to the adoption. What happened before had left grief in his soul a teenager wasn’t meant to understand. Every fall the reminder of his death date comes with fresh life; My grandson, Kyson’s birthday is that death day too.

I hear you. I feel you. I hope you are all able to discover the strategies right for you to build the egg white. I’m sure your grandson is part of that building.
