It is the best thing that I have done for myself since my husband died. Just to be with people who get it is and understand is so comforting. Looking forward to seeing your pink van. <br /><br />Maria Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-167946337649796122015-01-21T19:06:31.894-08:002015-01-21T19:06:31.894-08:00Allison be safe gal, and have the very best advent...Allison be safe gal, and have the very best adventure.

I am another person since his death, one so very lost, just trying to figure it out, not doing it so well. <br /><br />I've struggled to get back into yoga too. The "be here now, this moment is all as it should be" gets me every time. Usually spoken by a young yogi, who probably wonders why I'm crying. Used to be a yoga for loss near me, which was very beneficial, I fit right in with all others experiencing loss. But no more, and I haven't found a teacher to my liking. My dancing days have dwindled too, lately I put on some reggae at home, and find myself beginning to wake up and move. I think the body reflects the where the heart is, and being joyful in dance and moving were just not a part of early grief for me. I'm 5 years out. Give it time.<br /><br />Safe travels to Florida, have tried to get to camp several times, hasn't been in the cards. Hoping to one day.

My husband was a retired USAF fighter pilot. He was so strong and so protective and we loved each other totally. You described perfectly the pain that clings to me and the pain that no one, absolutely no one I know, wants to hear about. I feel so alone in this emptiness and I keep asking "now what?"
