Glad he doesn’t have to live with that anymore but dang I miss him. He was only in a home for 5 weeks. During that time he threw a tv at a nurse, tried to climb into the tv, went through a window trying to escape... worst time of my life, ever. Thought there’d be drama at the memorial and was glad there wasn’t. There’s been plenty since though:( we will get through this, moment by moment some days.

I just had to be on auto-pilot to get dressed and do those functions. And I think numbness is a protective device that gets us through the worst of the part we have to do, such as the readings, the greetings of family and friends. I've often felt like I was outside myself watching me interact with people and wondering who I was. You describe the day so perfectly it's like we're all there with you, experiencing every emotion. Very powerful. dalbador1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09877799102438622117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-89649076135525841312018-04-04T08:06:03.014-04:002018-04-04T08:06:03.014-04:00I am so sorry for your loss.

You get to that point where you feel you've been drained of all the emotional currency you have left and then you are suddenly expected to just move on and get back to work and the routine. What if we're not ready for that? The Mr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233628447251244134noreply@blogger.com
