Wearily, she stumbled in the front door . . .

Home again, home again, and well and truly spent.

I'm tired, worn out, and everything feels just the slightest bit off.

It was good to spend time with family, but it's so very strange to realize that Aunt J isn't around anymore. I keep thinking of things I'd like to tell her or show her or . . .

I know that my grief really isn't in the same league as losing a mother or a sister (or a spouse, though Uncle J is pretty much incapacitated by Parkinson's, so I'm not sure how aware he is of what was going on). It's just . . . strange.

I might write more specifically later, just for my own catharsis. For now, it's too personal.

I guess a small part of me is feeling a little bit empty.

Hey miss - I'm so sorry for your loss. Grief isn't a contest or quantifiable, so you don't need to defend or explain how it affects you. ::hugs::

Thanks, sweets. I appreciate it.

*hugs again*

*hugs* A loss is a loss, and you are entitled to grieve. Get some rest, my friend, and we can talk when you're up to it.

Slowly but surely I'm starting to get my bearings again. I was just commenting to Geo that I feel like I'm getting a late start on the year, because a can't believe to day is the 11th already. A lot has happened in the past week.

I just . . . as weird and discombobulated as I feel, I can't imagine how my mom and my cousins are feeling. Ya know?

I might give you a call today if it's convenient for you.

You can try giving me a call--I will probably be around my phone most of the day, whether doing stuff or not. I leave for church around 4:20pm my time, so between then and 8:30 I may not be reachable (going grocery shopping afterwards).

Thinking of you, and praying for you, my friend.

Grief is a process. Give yourself permission to feel what you feel. *hugs*
