Maybe that's just one part of tragedy. Maybe every human life that ends leaves a hole that takes a few generations to fill in.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you're still hurting. I think anybody would feel like the world has changed. It never stops changing and sometimes that hurts. <BR/><BR/>Thinking of you.Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-39894133355704934952009-01-15T15:03:00.000-05:002009-01-15T15:03:00.000-05:00Heidi,You are correct, grief isn't a light switch....Heidi,<BR/><BR/>You are correct, grief isn't a light switch. You'll never just wake up one day and think, "I'm over it." The fact is - what happened was a horrible tragedy that will most likely affect you for the rest of your life. <BR/><BR/>When I was reading St. Augustine's Confessions, he writes about the death of his lifelong friend. He writes about how years later, it still affected him. I'm glad you have the clarity of thought to be able to process it.<BR/><BR/>And if you bawl in Bible study - it just means that you are human, you have a heart, you are hurting. Much love to you.Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161250727510052519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-61370786180957822922009-01-15T12:29:00.000-05:002009-01-15T12:29:00.000-05:00Today is better.You know, I debated about blogging...Today is better.<BR/><BR/>You know, I debated about blogging about this.

And it's important to cry and let it out. You'll always have those regression days, triggers and moments of complete despair, but that's what losing someone is all about. It's a measure of deeply you care.<BR/><BR/>Big hugs!!!!!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123599839884840143noreply@blogger.com
