I think of you often and worry about you. This has been such a craptastic year but you are getting through it, one day, one breath at a time. Be kind to yourself and know that you and C have each other to rely on to get through whatever comes next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-6875390557986137462009-03-01T22:55:00.000-05:002009-03-01T22:55:00.000-05:00I am unforgivably late to this (as I have been to ...I am unforgivably late to this (as I have been to and with most things lately). I am so sorry this year has been so hard. There are really no words to make this better. But like you say, there is nothing that can make it better. The difference in this community is that we know that, and that we know that all we can do is abide.<BR/><BR/>I am glad you've had glimpses. That conference sounds great, a breath of air. I hope there are many more of these for you as the weeks and months roll forward. One step at a time can sound so daunting when you can't see what's in the distance, but it can also be hypnotic-- just concentrate on the next step and the next again. One at a time.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745262857388007041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-83532391050624432302009-02-28T09:47:00.000-05:002009-02-28T09:47:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry.

The pain never truly goes away. We just get better at hiding it from people. I'm so glad that C has been there for you, men have that wonderful and sometimes annoying quality - they hold themselves together for us.<BR/><BR/>Sending you some peaceful thoughts.

I'm very glad that you've continued to write. <BR/><BR/>As for where you thought you'd be -- grief has no set timetable (unfortunately -- wouldn't it be nice to know when we've reached which signposts, & when this journey is done?). Hang in there. You'll find your way, eventually, in your own time & your own unique way.loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-398826425080805683.post-48774628511007258462009-02-22T01:00:00.000-05:002009-02-22T01:00:00.000-05:00quite a year it has been, sue, I know.
