I still cry and it's been almost 13 years.<br /><br />When I went back to work, I had to start the mourning process all over again cos it was with a new set of people wishing me well, etc.<br /><br />It's rough, but we each process our own way and in our own time.<br /><br />At least you know what's going on, so accept it for what it is and process.<br /><br />Much love and hugs, Honey sends some too!~Donna~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03688151596923812214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-13624324761372348752010-12-23T07:41:25.249-08:002010-12-23T07:41:25.249-08:00Dunno as I'd say "denial", exactly, ...Dunno as I'd say "denial", exactly, but ... well ... this culture we live in is in pretty deep denial about the grief process. Like we'd really get it all done in the three or so days between the death and the funeral? Like we'd really be able to release all our emotions about our feelings of loss (and love, guilt, whatever else we happen to carry) about this person in just the day of the funeral?<br /><br />Grieving takes the time it takes. And it would be so lovely if our coworkers, employers, and the man in the street didn't so often expect us to be back in place on Monday morning, dusting off our hands, done with that, thanks.<br /><br />Much love, light, and healing laughter to you and the MIG just nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-48971694918819181332010-12-23T05:31:34.955-08:002010-12-23T05:31:34.955-08:00No, you're as okay as any of us.

Child, please. Except I have a southern accent so you have to hear that as "chiiiiiiiile, puh-leeeze." Do not beat yourself up for recharging. You're not checking out. You're making yourself able to keep checking in.<br />*smooches*Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12156097768835940764noreply@blogger.com
