Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Lee82 @Emelia8 @Maggie @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member and others under the support button and passing by... Love, hugs and courage to you all

Another long day but I had the my class first thing then the preps for the rest of the day - they were all excited to see me and do art so that made it worthwhile ...their little smiles and enthusiasm rubbed off on me and I actually found a smile for the first time in weeks.

We had our usual meeting after school and I had a little teary moment ...brought on by something that would usually be insignificant but got to me today. I am sure there will be more moments like that but in a way it is probably good as at least I was feeling something.

Remain in utter disbelief though and don't think that is going to change anytime soon - I have my psych appointment on Monday so will see how that goes and if I can break through this numbness. I strongly suspect it will not seem real until we can bring him home and have the memorial for him here - so it might be a long road

@Faith-and-Hope Carrying you with me always - I have set up small versions of your paintings at my desk at work and have my necklace on every day - they bring a little of you with me everyday and really help when I need it. Thank you for being you and being in my life Hon

Re: Far and Away

I am so glad you are getting to work hun and that being around the kids is helping a little. Kids seems to have that effect on us.
@Zoe7

it's going to take a lot of time to come to terms with what has happened hun especially if it was unexpected. Give yourself space to process everything and take your time to heal.
sending you a gentle hug hoping that with every passing day you start to feel just that little bit better. ❤️💜💙💚🧡💛

Re: Far and Away

@Zoe7, well done today. The grief experiences tends to bump into past grief +/or loss emotions and so it can get compounded. I don't know much about your history, but once I realised how grief 'coping' can be accumulative, it put my state in perspective and helped with acceptance and self compassion. And defused the past from the present a bit, emotionally. Does this make any sense for you? (not explaining it well, and it is my own experience with it). The numbness you feel is the 'shock' stage (your subconscious protecting you), so don't push it. Have a cry when the waves come and you'll get through it. Takes time 💜💜💜
