I passed so many vehicles on the highway. People/family laughing and having fun! I stopped to use a restroom and get a coffee and was shocked at how jovial everyone was!!!

didn't they KNOW? How DARE they ? ?? ... then I realized, it was MY world that was shattered and no one elses, not the servers, not the people washing their hands, not the families having fun.

A month dear uppity, is no time at all. Life is still painful for me after 18 years .. at one month I was still a basket case.

Be kind to yourself, please.

baby steps, forward or backwards, doesn't matter. Just be kind to yourself.

my heart aches for your loss.
