Mine is a different type. My beloved dad has alzheimers and while he is still with us the fear of the unknown and the things he can't do now that could I am grieving. Does that make sense. :( I miss him. I miss who he was, what he did, how he contributed.<br /><br />I need to enjoy what I do have. He still knows us all and is very much with it on most things.<br /><br />I hope the best for you. :( So sorry about your mom.Jessie at Blog Schmoghttp://www.blogschmogme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341197608260808827.post-88777302750745743652009-11-18T09:16:15.370-07:002009-11-18T09:16:15.370-07:00Thank you, everyone.Thank you, everyone.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054198318242454049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341197608260808827.post-37068426796645843982009-11-18T07:18:22.849-07:002009-11-18T07:18:22.849-07:00I agree that there is something to be said for the...I agree that there is something to be said for the "old days" and customs of grief. You know why? I think those people TOOK the time to go through it. We are so busy that it's something we go through simultaneously with other STUFF! <br /><br />Praying for you and that you'll continue to gain strength in each new day and each new whisper of the spirit!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734191407051735127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341197608260808827.post-9857731472334700302009-11-17T17:11:28.405-07:002009-11-17T17:11:28.405-07:00Just wanted you to know I'm still thinking abo...Just wanted you to know I'm still thinking about you and praying God's peace will be real to you.Christy Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192519166354022489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341197608260808827.post-85374149237101990872009-11-16T14:44:36.655-07:002009-11-16T14:44:36.655-07:00Be kind to yourself.

Nowadays it's different. The world rewards those who get on with job, and heaven knows, businesses and colleagues are still under pressure to meet goals and deadlines, no matter what we have to process, but the need to grieve is still there.<br /><br />Wishing you your needed time in any increments you can get, and some sleep too!Nostalgic for the Pleistocenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369449719832190810noreply@blogger.com
