What stocking post?This is a VERY hard time of year to lose a loved one. Years ago my Dad died on Dec 3rd. I remember being in such a daze.
My thoughts are with you & I send my love.
It sounds like you're gently accepting your grieving as it's evolving & accepting yourself exactly 'where you are'. I am glad about that. It's really important to be SO gentle & accepting of ourselves at a time like this.
I remember years ago having a miscarriage - a very early one, but I was devastated. My then-husband, after a few weeks sort of said, "So how long are you going to go on like this?" - Sort of 'when are you going to snap out of this?
I am still pleased to remember 'snapping out of' my normal mousey way of 'being' & saying that I'd take precisely however long I needed to grieve in whatever dammed way I happened to do it!!!Anyhow TC - you're all in my thoughts & I send love your way.
luv, Kath
