It was supposed to get easier!
I thought I would start to feel better after the first year anniversary after Jonathan died but, instead the nightmares, the fears and the memories of the last three months I lived runs like a movie in my head so clear and so profound. I am not in survival mode anymore, it more like "HELP ME" I am sinking. Now what am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to do for the rest of my life? The rest of my life without him.
Accept the reality that I can not hug him, work through the pain I feel in my heart, adjust the environment that I live in now with all of his pictures still plastered all over the walls! Move from this house in order to heal myself - I don't think so!
My love for Jon shall never go away, he shall not be forgotten.
I do know I have to continue on as he would want me to succeed in life and to continue on my journey this new journey I lead. Educating, supporting my friends of like in kind trying to forge through the horrendous tasks of mourning together may help may help me rekindle my desire to live, thrive, and to survive!
I have my younger daughter and my older son, whom I love so very very much. They are in pain as well, they will come back to me someday. Right now as they grieve within the life they lead today has this enormous weight of physical sadness. I know - I can see - I can feel it.
Sad thing about our family is that we have all grieved separately through all of this, we all are fumbling through this mess.
We will all make it - we will all survive - we have too ~ for Jonathan..
Just a side note ~ I am still pissed off at him that he did not say goodbye.
We did have lunch together that day! See after all she wrote she had a positive memory to share - go figure.
WORK THROUGH IT YOU CAN DO IT!
