Some days I do really well, accomplishing things and getting out to do things. Other days I get "nothing" done (by most standards), but I guess on those days I'm just being kind to myself.

The grief so heavy as to be almost unbearable as you well know.<br /><br />I've found a local Christian widows' group and am going to my second meeting on the 15th. They are sweet survivors and that's what I want to be too.

Even though our bright smiling faces show a brave front to the world, it is seldom the case. We are troupers in living, brave with our daily grief. But I too need so much my quiet time and often sit here in my PJ's longing for the return of my beloved,just longing to hear his voice once more.Still knowing that although theSusie Hemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936508273837230613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248364903320019167.post-72807932200502569062013-04-07T17:27:18.244-07:002013-04-07T17:27:18.244-07:00Loved this post, Dianne!

Nor do I beat myself up for experiencing them. In the early days I sought a future when I'd be completely "healed". But now I think I understand “it” more.
