I feel more like myself today. I cried a little, laughed a little, worked a little, played a little. I feel balanced. Balance is so important in all aspects of life, but I've been too lopsided in my grief. I feel better when I eat a balanced diet. If I lose my balance when navigating all the snow and ice, I will probably fall. I know exactly how much money I have when I balance the checkbook....well, at least I would if I actually did that. Life is about balance. I've asked numerous people who have suffered the loss of someone class, "Does the pain ever go away?" What I've gleaned thus far is that the painful times never go away completely but become centered around significant dates and places. I think part of grieving is finding that balance b/w happiness and sadness; love and hate; anger and relief.
Today has been a good day, a balanced day, but tomorrow could be completely out of whack..............again.
