Update on my mom.

5. And let those tears flow!!

My grief counselor told me to never hold them back - people will understand.

I have lost 3 family members, this year, and I've been doing my best 'stiff upper lip' routine for the past 10 months because I kept telling myself that there was too much to do so I didn't have the time to do proper grieving. Truthfully, I was afraid that if I started, I wouldn't be able to stop.

Then this week the dam broke and I spend two days weeping, pretty much non stop. I won't say I'm healed - I might never be healed, but I am able to focus, better. Grief is like a poison that you have to exorcise out of your system before it builds up.

Any time you need to share with someone, do not hesitate to get in touch.
