My heart is breaking for you! Keep writing your thoughts - it helps. The sadness will fade, although the grief will be strong for a long time. My prayers are with you.

Sweet Angel, I'm sure the upcoming holidays and memorial are a factor in your sadness. I know you know that this too shall pass and is part of the grieving process, which may continue for quite some time. I love that you are letting yourself feel the feelings. We have such a long-standing habit of eating our emotions instead, so pat yourself on the back, big time, for that! And feel the hug i gave us both from your great post! xoxox

Thank you all. I appreciate you accepting me thru this time... well, all of it actually. The manic as well as the depressive. My outlook calendar reminder popped up - going to the Adolphus for High Tea in a couple of weeks. Finally, something to look forward to as I navigate thru this next week of sad reminders. One day at a time, right?

<3 Sending you all my support, Bella. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through, and have gone through, but I know that when emotions feel very raw and exposed, it means that your mind and body are aching to get them out. Stuffing them back in is disastrous. Finding productive, soothing, cathartic methods of expression seems key right now. Writing is one way. Are you still painting? That could play a big role in recovery as well. You have a ton of people who love and support you, we're always here for you :)

There'd be no flowers or rainbows if it weren't for the rain.

Haven't painted for a couple of weeks.. I had created some interesting lighted stained glass paintings but am having trouble sitting still in front of the canvas. Being lost in the quiet thoughts of my mind are too hard right now.

My hope is that while you go through this painful time of the year, that exposes wounds afresh that you attempt to scatter it with the good that you have in your life. You are stronger than you think and you will be happy again. Take care my dear.

I feel your sadness ((Hugs)). One day at a time, dear Bella. This is a hard time of year for so many people. So sorry about your Alec. Betas are very beautiful, an elegant fish, even if they feel the need to fight. I loved the ones I used to have. Cried my eyes out when any of my pets died. My pets were a part of my family. Please keep giving yourself hugs and giving Mushy hugs. Your Mushy will help you get through your rough patches more than most people can. Your Mushy needs you too!

What if we think about grief like yoga poses and we try to rest in it even if the stretch stings??

No need to apologize for being who you really are - though I understand the desire to do so. You are loved and lovable.

So sorry to hear about Alec. This is a very tough time of year with the holidays and missing loved ones, especially ones that haven't been gone very long. A good cry could help get out some more of the grief. Take care of yourself and remember we're all here for you

Bella, your trip to San Antonio was for you. The Memorial you have been planning is for other people. If this is just too stressful for you, someone else should take care of all the details, so you only need to attend and tell people, Thank you for coming. Let others do something for you. Delegate my dear!
