TW: Death and loss I ain’t gonna lie… this has been a hard week. The weather isn’t helping. I normally love this time of year, but this morning, as I look out at the grey skies, my feelings are very melancholy. The colors in the fall leaves are beautiful, but as I watch the leaves letting go from the trees and the wind from an upcoming storm swirling them around in the sky, I find a touch of panic rising up in my stomach. It feels like everything is dying right now all around me… but I know that isn’t really true. The trees aren’t dying, they are just taking a break. They are just doing what they need to do to prepare for the upcoming winter, and they will bloom again in the spring. Still, instead of the usual excitement that I feel in the fall, I’m fighting off grief and depression and it feels like the weather is with me on that today.
Sis, great post. I'm at the age when you begin to lose people you love. Grief is powerful, so we must learn to live with it and facing it, when often we want to bury it. Keep writing my dear!
As you know we lost our Dino 🐶 suddenly in January, and Pebbles 🐶 began having some breathing issues after he passed. She still with us at 14+ but we opted to get Roxy 🐶 in February. And a puppy, really does help the healing.
And right now, John's dad is in hospice, he has suffered from parkinson's for many years and lewy body dementia in recent years. His last day here is coming soon. John is already griefing and it's so hard to watch.
Your counselor is so right. Going thru it is the only way. But also the hardest. My heart is with you friend. I love you. 😉
I feel you. I love you. Thank you so much for sharing your heart.
