Quick Update

I said my goodbyes to my Godfather earlier this week. The service was very nice and the burial was complete with military present to honor his time in the service with a gun salute. Is that what that's called?

He was buried very close to where my Mom was laid to rest in the same cemetery. After his service I went and stood by my Mom. Or at least where she was laid to rest that is. I really don't like going there, at all, but on that day it made me feel closer to her. I miss her so much.

I haven't felt much like blobbing, but I did want to let you all know that I have been exploring different avenues to to get my life moving in a more positive direction. Things aren't all bad, but I know there are numerous things I can do to address what I'm struggling with mentioned here and here.

Thanks for hanging in there with me this week! As you can imagine, attending a funeral stirred up some emotions that are still pretty raw for me. I am trying to make my way through all of this grief. Honest I am. I am so very grateful to have this outlet and you incredibly kind people along the way.

  2. My mom is buried in Minnesota, about a 7 hour drive away from where I live. I wish I could go a visit her grave. My dad is going up there in a couple of weeks to pick out a stone for her grave. I hate thinking about it.

    I know how hard it is to process all this grief. I've probably mentioned that I was overwhelmed by my grandma's death so soon after my mom died, that I just haven't been able to mourn grandma.

    Thinking of you during this difficult time!

    I think you are already on the way of mending since you are searching. I hope things do go better for you. Sometimes it just takes time. You have had a lot to deal with. Life can really be tough. Good things are in your future. Do I sound like a fortune cookie. ((((HUGS)))))
