You have to reidentify yourself and your life
From Laurel –
jean -
thank you so much for reaching out to me and i feel your pain too.i too have people in my life who have helped me so much and continue to do so with chores,shopping,cards,checking to see if i am ok and i am so grateful for them but sometimes it is good to talk to someone sharing the journey even though you never would wish this for someone. sometimes i think i am glad in a way that menno went first because i would never want him to go through what i am.
i know he would not want to see me in despair and he would tell me it is okay to be okay.i try to honor his life and death by taking care of myself but i have a hard time eating and have lost lots of weight and do not sleep well, i know this worries my family and friends so i keep trying.
you have to reidentify yourself and your life and that too is hard. the whole journey is exhausting and painful on every level but we do find the strength to go on with friends old and new.
i hold you in my heart
laurel
