It is awful :( We are all pitching in and the funeral is later today (as i write this at 2am) i haven't slept well since it happened- we are all in a stupor.<br />It does put things into perspective.<br />A month ago we were discussing a book at book club and she was due to come on Friday-to the one scheduled on, what ended up being- the day she passed away.<br />Every time i think about the kids ==so very young- i just want to ball up into a heap. It is just too much to think about. We set up playdates and pretend it is all normal. I know that is the best thing- but as a parent- it makes u think - am i doing the things i should, the things i want them to remember? Am I leaving an impression? Are they getting everything they need and want from me? Can I say yes more than no?<br /><br />ughJennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-50497390256994158592010-01-12T21:23:33.378-05:002010-01-12T21:23:33.378-05:00"The chasm of grief" is what you'd s..."The chasm of grief" is what you'd see in my eyes, too. I saw it reflected back at me last night when I saw my ex for the first time in many months. We have both been through hell. Whether you lose a spouse or a child or a parent, there is a long road of grief ahead. All that dad can do is walk it. You can be there by just saying good morning and asking if there is anything you can do (food, etc.) Imagine the void that has been left in his home. <br /><br />It's good to be back reading you again. <br /><br />Peace - DRiverPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846730934649303857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-44048344483484320612010-01-11T23:37:35.918-05:002010-01-11T23:37:35.918-05:00No words here.No words here.Cristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278630444931205359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149345128982934434.post-27666101033088368242010-01-11T21:41:59.175-05:002010-01-11T21:41:59.175-05:00Oh, wow.
