Early Days

March 26, 2011 By Alana 7 Comments

The grief is pouring out of me like early days.

I don’t sleep well. I wake up tired, spent. I am unhappy, uncomfortable, as though I am the princess and there is a pea hidden under my skin. My patience is worn, my smile forced. Finally I take a moment to sit, to breathe, to feel where in my body I hurt. The hole in my heart has reopened – not that it was closed, but perhaps scabbing over. Its blackness yawns. I stumble into the bathroom and sob, quietly, so as not to disturb the morning too much. I go inside, ask my heart what will heal it today. I get answers – simple ones. Connect to your husband. Laugh with your daughter. Clean your house. Write. Dance. Stand with your toes at the ocean’s edge and scream – let it out, let it go.

Grief is a personal journey. It doesn’t follow a linear path. I didn’t want to climb this mountain again, but here I go. Maybe it will be easier this time. And I remember, the view from the top is breath taking.

    Beautiful.
    Powerful.
    Remembering my own grief, that came from different reasons than yours, but none the less powerful for that.

    And if I may, being a classmate of yours in ‘Profitable Idealism’, I don’t think your Dream is too much at all. It is big, yes, but beautiful, and doable, and I hope to see you fly into it as the time is right. :>

    Brightest Blessings & *hugs!* if you’d like them. :>

    oh, I’ve been missing you so much lately. I have just wanted to connect, see how you were, say hi. It finally occurred to me to come here. Reaching out to let you know I love you.
