Your day count reminds me of a post I wrote. I had downloaded an app called “Days Since” because I was trying to figure out something unrelated to my loss. Then, the next logical thing was curiosity as to how many days it had been since Mr. Virgo died. I was stunned…it had been 1,000 days. And I was still alive. That changed my perspective entirely. I’m glad you are here with us, Linda. ❤️

It can be real hard to put heartache in perspective, but I use Reading. News, world events, history, fiction. Nothing like a good dose of humanity to put ours in perspective on those jammie days. Not to beat ourselves up about feeling bad, but to give us things to be thankful for. I made a list of joy-giving things and look at it often because they can get lost in the static. Simple, immediate things to get my mind spinning in a different direction, a more positive one, a less inner-directed one. You ride the waves, but you want to eventually wade out of the surf after a good dunking.

I haven’t had a stay in bed yet. When the darkness starts to seep in, I head outside, regardless of the weather. I have the coloring books and my journals to color and write in…our mantra was /is You Gotta Believe….I repeat that numerous times to myself a day ?

My husband died suddenly almost 10 years ago and it seems to be hitting more often now. Also my youngest son passed away seven years ago this April and that is still hard! I do not allow myself the pajamas all day!! Because I have other family and friends and things to do! I feel a church family is very important and we know our heavenly father is always there to console us! I am in a prayer shawl ministry at my church and we have seen how they help many others on bad days! Lots of dark dreary days here in Vermont…hoping for more sunshine and flowers….soon! It will come!!!

I am going to make a “Care package” for a friend who recently lost her husband. I know her days are long and she will be more than moved to know someone is thinking of HER and the difficult days she is enduring.
