"(((Hugs))). I think you do need a break from school. You have worked so hard (even at camp). Take some time for you. It's so easy to put kids, school, work, etc first. Be patient with yourself. The grief coaster will soon start going up! Take…"

THE Birthday

As I was driving the kids to school this morning, I started having a flashback of my early days of widowhood. Driving the kids to school in the rain, thinking about what I needed from the grocery and trying to cover up the massive pain in my heart. I've come along way from those days where everything was numb except the giant whole in my gut. But today, it is back. I'm trying to scream it out, sleep it out, eat it out,cry it out, throw it up - anything to stop this pain. My heart is just so… Continue

Give baths. Read stories. Put kids to bed. Then watch tv until the melatonin kicks in and I drift off to sleep. All the while keeping you grief, tucked away somewhere. Probably in the endless abyss I call my purse. Sometimes I… Continue
