your message about self-care came a...dear Rebecca,<br /><br />your message about self-care came at such a fortuitous time for me. into my second year of losing Hugh, the grief is so much more complicated and I struggle with the pain and frustration of trying to dissect it and discover what the triggers are. as you know only too well, it is exhausting! I needed to be reminded that I deserve and benefit from rendering good self-care and to be aware of how the tolls on our physical well-being can wreak havoc through the grieving process. thank you so much for this excellent and beautifully written post.<br /><br />much love,<br /><br />karentccomments2013https://www.blogger.com/profile/00446394638074551345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-54495749520203731582014-08-17T09:18:56.581-07:002014-08-17T09:18:56.581-07:00Hello, this post brought back a childhood memory.....Hello, this post brought back a childhood memory... When I was 15, not understanding, one of my lifelong friends mother committed suicide..she had Ben so kind to me, took me to salon to hv my first hair experience.. Forever grateful for that, she helped put my feet on my livelihood path for next 3 decades..she had 4 children. All under 17... Her husband was left with job rearing them by hisself.., although abt 10 yrs later he did remarry and that was over 25 yr marriage.. He buried her also..she too kind sweet lady..his first wife she was so full of life to me, spunky..loving..I being too young to even knw she was troubled, u could never tell..at the funeral which was my first besides my grandma at 9., I just stood an looked at her, so beautiful... Unbelief.. To this day still unbelief, over 42 yrs now still visit her grave , he is now with her, I visit him too..he buried a son 2007 to horrific accident, he was a mentor for me.. He was a rock.. Still hv the card of sentiment he wrote me when my husbands horrific accident took him from me... If anyone knew painnnnn, that man did..I watched him thru the years he was mentor for me you can still go onnnnn...1974https://www.blogger.com/profile/03452038541844071655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-72480702455209063182014-08-16T15:40:55.981-07:002014-08-16T15:40:55.981-07:00Thank you for the important reminder Rebecca.

There is such self-acceptance in the way you write about this -something for me to aspire to.
