Far and Away

It's a good game @Lee82 @Snowie Both teams hard at the ball - I like a close game (when it isn't my team lol).

And the best team won!! 🥳🥳😁

@Snowie @Zoe7

You would be a happy little camper @Lee82 Well deserved in the end - Collingwood played much better in the last quarter.

Yea they did!! Which is unusual for them 👍👍

@Zoe7

A little something for you tonight @Faith-and-Hope

@Zoe7 hoping you got what you needed to get done yesterday and today is going well for you 💌

@Faith-and-Hope @Lee82 hoping both your days are going well too 💕💕

Didn't get everything done @Snowie so more to do tonight. I have an early meeting in the morning with a parent so need to have it all done by then ...going to be a long night. It is really difficult with one hand but I am finding ways around it - just takes longer.

Had psych session today. It went okay. She is concerned that I am still not processing my friend's death as she knows I have a tendency to keep things to myself and also file them away in the back of my mind so I don't have to deal with them. I know very well I am doing this but it is my default setting to cope. She wants me to write him a letter - something we have done before so it is a familiar tasks for me - then watch the funeral when I can ...soon though and not in months time. Both I will try to do this weekend so I have time. We both agree doing either during the week when I need to work is not a good idea - sleep is hard enough and that would make it even harder.

@Faith-and-Hope I really hope you have finished your assignment that you had an extension on until today and are getting some rest. Missing you sweetheart 💖🐬😘

@Zoe7

Hoping you get it done tonight hun and you are not too tired tomorrow @Zoe7

Processing what happened to your friend is hard hon. We do have that tendency to keep things bottled up and to delay processing things, mostly because it is so hard to accept the reality. I wish you all the best in writing him a letter and watching the funeral. I will be around on the weekend if you need that extra support sweetheart. Please reach out, you do not have to go through this alone.

Thank you so much @Snowie I need to try to get all my schoolwork done during the week so I have a relatively free weekend - otherwise I know I will not be able to write the letter nor watch the funeral. It is so hard to accept it and after talking to my psych today she confirmed what I already knew - that I was still very much in shock and not allowing myself to grieve because it is too hard. Since my grandfather died I have gotten through losing anyone by blocking it out but then it overwhelms me when I least expect it. I don't process loss well - especially when it is so painful - that is my way of coping but it is not healthy. Short term it works to get through but longer term it all piles up and that is what my psych wants to avoid so I don't 'crash' again. I do know that is where I am heading so trying to stop that before it happens is step number 1. Knowing all that is a good thing though as I can take steps to hopefully stop it - just need to know those steps first!
