Triggering Grief

Originally posted 2021-04-23 09:00:00. A couple of mornings ago my bff and I went to find strawberries. We found them and a few other goodies. When we came back my husband wasn’t himself. It was Luther Vandross’s birthday. My husband’s father loved Luther Vandross’s music. For whatever reason it hit him like a ton of bricks and it burst into tears. He had a really off day. He hasn’t really grieved since he passed 2…

Ever since Chewy passed, then my ankle replacement, I have just been trying to glide. I have been seeing more wrinkles and more gray hair all the while I don’t feel the wrinkles and gray on the inside.I started using more face products to hopefully counter the…

Call me Scrooge

Originally posted 2018-12-11 11:03:52. Listen I can’t do Christmas this year. Don’t want to get together with family, exchange gifts, receive gifts, etc. I just can’t. Please do not take this any other way as I am currently struggling just to get up everyday. I have started realizing my momma isn’t coming back. I have been realizing I will never talk to her again and this is just something I am having a hard time…

She passed peacefully

My “step grandmother” passed peacefully. Unfortunately, no one bothered to tell us she did. So we were unable to attend any of the viewings she had scheduled. My aunt wasn’t even told she passed. She is in the mountains of North Carolina so she would have had to have known alot sooner than I. But she’s now up there with my grandpa, who if you recall (or if I even posted about it) unfortunately committed…

Questions

Originally posted 2019-10-16 07:00:26. I am speaking to parents of special needs children/adults. To the parents who are with their kids and pretty much your life revolves around their care. To the parents who often wonder what will happen when the day comes and you pass on. Since my momma’s passing, my bio father’s passing and well my brother too I have been thinking about it much more. My daughter has her life. What if…

I feel stuck

Originally posted 2021-01-22 13:29:17. In full disclosure I am writing this while under the influence of Ativan…so… Why must we be so afraid of death? Why do we mourn so much over our loved ones? Is it because we really don’t know what’s on the other side? Is it because we don’t know if they are truly better off where they were, in pain?I wonder, with tears I type, I wonder. To my loved ones…
