WolfsKat Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Flew up to Michigan for a week, attended my family's belated Christmas Party....we congregate at a rental facility as just too dang many of us. Being up there solidified my feelings that the right thing to do, for me, is to move back to be near them all, especially my grandgirls. I've given my current landlord my moving out date (end of March) and am packing/sorting. It's rather scary, in a way.....but I think this does show "progress", that I am able to think of a new life? It's a step, and in the right direction, I hope! Pic of me opening my "Dirty Santa" gift (it's a game, of sorts) at the get-together....I actually had a good time....laughed and did not feel "guilty" about it! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Good for you! I'm sure you'll be better off being near family. And to be with grands, that's good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty65 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 That's so good that you could laugh and not feel guilty, Wolfskat! So many times I have felt guilty... and sometimes just that it is just wrong... wrong to smile, wrong to laugh... even in my need to greet customers. It's like, in a world turned dark and upside down and cut in half, how could I be smiling? But I know Ron wants me to laugh again. I just know it. Because a real, guiltless smile is an echo of our love. And precious and rare in this grief struggle. I think "guilty" is just the broken promise of "should" and in an ideal world, we'd just jettison all those "shoulds" away. It's the last thing we need on this path.

KATPILOT Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I've been on this road long enough to appreciate the love that surrounds me. I just got back from a belated Christmas with my son in Norfolk too Wolfskat. To be with my granddaughters made me smile so big. And I got to meet my friend George who new on this grief's journey is finding the flying bug biting. Good for you George and remember it's never to late to follow a dream. Rose Anne will be pleased to feel you in her sky. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the last thing we need on this path. But one of the hardest to get rid of Patty. I have so lost the understanding of what an ideal world is yet I can find a new world way better than the one I just crawled out of. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyT Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I know, Kay, that sometimes, when I forget to click on "Submit Reply," my post disappears . . .

enna Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 I have forgotten to hit "Submit Reply" more often than I want to admit! I call it "grief brain" ~ it's better than admitting that I am getting forgetful! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwenivere Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 What I have found is if I start a reply and the software hangs up or I come back to the thread later, touch on reply it is still there. Magic maybe? Or just luck? ☘️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
