Grateful for great friends
Hi to all of my OLGS friends. Grief is a long road. I have been doing a lot of reading on how our thoughts trigger brain chemicals which influence our physical feeling and emotional balance. Very amazing stuff. We all grieve differently but we all have the same general bio-processes. Grief is such a threat to our survival. I dont know if we truly recover, or more we learn to incorporate our loss into strength, coping, and remembering with love. I've been told by many people over the years the sting of grief can resurface, although it becomes more manageable. Thinking of you all and wishing comfort! Michael

Thank you Sandy, you're a great friend! I know what you mean, words get kind of silly...Closure sounds like a doorway that needs fixing, and recovery has a post surgery ring to it. In a strange way, grief makes us stronger and wiser, and the suffering part of it is the wound that heals even though it leaves a scar big enough for a bear. I wish wellness and peace in your life.

Hi Michael,
I think we don't "recover", but as you say "we learn to incorporate our loss into strength, coping, and remembering with love."
A friend was talking about closure today (she wants closure from a breakup) and I said that the word has no meaning for me, I don't understand what it is supposed to feel like, but if it meant something to her, that was great.
Sandy

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
