Um... I think I need a hug

[Haole Girl]

Or 20. The death of my co-worker, and other shit, seems to have caught up with me... sort of all at once.

:cry:

Very bad night. Read a depressing NY Times article about Sylvia Plath's son & it just sort of... I dunno. Things only got worse from there.

:cry:

Sometimes it comes in a cascade. Hang in there.

I liked your old pic. Was going to comment about the dress, but I got sidetracked. I had one exactly like it around 1985. :hug:

I'll be ok. Last night was rough. Today is a gloomy Easter (100% chance of rain in the DFW area). But I need to count my blessings, and think about the good things. :hug:

12. It sucks when the crap all piles on at once

I've been lucky enough to always get to the light at the other end of the tunnel, but
it isn't always apparent. Feel free to lean on whatever shoulders you can find here
until things sort themselves out :hug:

[Haole Girl]

15. Yes, it does

Thank you. :hug:

[babydollhead]

21. breathe.

in and then out. that's all you have to do. Also, if you feel lifted for a moment, you don't have to stop it to remind yourself you are in grief. It comes in waves. peace to you, still alive. peace and know you are not alone.

[Haole Girl]

23. Thank you

Sounds like good advice. I don't mind the waves as long as they don't pull me under and keep me there.

[babydollhead]

27. crying makes room.

here is my shoulder and my open heart to lean on. I know it's not the same as a real person in the room. If you can get out for a walk, life is insisting on itself this time of year. hugs

[redqueen]

[Haole Girl]

24. Thank you, redqueen
