Time moves slow sometimes when we grieve, before you know it another day , week or month has gone by. Grieving is done in our own time no one knows until they’ve been thru it. There is no hurry. You amaze me every day with your strength. You may not see it but we feel it. We also feel your pain so take it a day at a time….there is no hurry. Prayers and hugs to all of you. Again your post brings tears to my eyes. Hang in there.
Becky, John and Kristi

I think you’re doing really well for only 6 months time. It’s been 2 1/2 years since I lost my Dad and I found myself crying off and on about it for nearly a week last week. You never know when the grief will overwhelm you and that’s ok. You shouldn’t be expected to “get over it”. You probably never will. Each day you get by and hopefully, in time, the pain decreases a bit but it won’t go away. You are showing great progress by getting angry about it. That’s a healthy step. George will always live in both you and Lily and that’s as it should be. The loss will always be real. I’m glad that you’re doing better though. I wish for you and Lily more and more peace as time goes on.

Sometimes I think the word progress is ill-defined. I think progress means back and forth, not always forth. Good days, bad days, one step forward, two steps back. I think that as long as you look over time and see that there is some forward movement you’re doing great, even if there is more back than forth. Hang in there. Call if you need to.

great post. the only thing predictable about time is the calendar. the seasons of the heart change very much at their own pace. God bless.
