"The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to."

If there is no struggle, there is no progress
Last week at work, we had a client come into our office.
The last time I had seen him was during the time John was still in the hospital and we had spoken briefly about John's illness and he was very nice and said he had been thinking of us. I was in @ work so little while John was sick that I had not seen him since.
So when he came in, naturally he asked me "How is your husband doing?"

You think you know, but you have no idea...
“Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.” - Arthur Schopenhauer
A friend shared this quote with me semi recently.And isn't it so true? Maybe you read it and think "Yeah, I know that feeling." And maybe you do, but I am betting a lot of people who think that- unless they have suffered some of the "earth shattering" forms of loss that would really give you perspective on what that quote really MEANS. (And if you do know that kind of loss...I am so so sorry for you.)
Maybe you are luckily blissfully unaware of how true this statement can be in a person's life, maybe you've never experienced that kind of loss- that isn't really the point here.

Its been 4 weeks
I love the work of Tyler Knott. He posts a lot of things that are so relevant to how I am feeling right now. Even more so was he placed this over a picture of the ocean. John and I loved the beach. So I saw this one and had to put it here. It describes how I feel so aptly.
Its been 4 weeks today since John passed. I hate Thursdays now, because he passed on a Thursday. Each Thursday is just a reminder of what I lost that day. I actually used to like Thursdays. Now I dread them, or at best just wish I could skip over every Thursday.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Today my single step is that I managed to go to work, every day, for a full week.
