As I have posted before ... of course life goes on but I am definitely having a bit of a down day today. I will be spending tomorrow with my children & grandchildren .... we will do something fun ..... and be happy and sad and remember him with love.
Soon after he died my Mum told me something a friend had told her, when his daughter died .... I had known of the prayer below for many years but this friend put it in words that really hit home ....
It doesn't matter what you do - you can Scream. Shout. Rant. Rave. Kick the door (or the cat). Cry. Weep uncontrollably. Be angry. ........
None of that will make a blind bit of difference .... you may have to do these things to keep some sanity within your grief ..... but ultimately ... ULTIMATELY ..... you have to ACCEPT that this person you loved is dead, gone ..... not coming back.
If you have a faith, then of course you will believe you will be in their presence again someday ... but as of right now - their time on earth is done.
Once you can find that acceptance - brutal as it is - THEN you can carry on - still taking your grief with you, accepting that you may cry at times even after 9/19/29 years .... but you can live life again.
You cannot change death - so accept it ........
