For me it's been a spiral road - I revisit the same places/emotions/'baggage' again at different times, but it's never exactly the same, I am never exactly the same... When I mentioned our daughter's grave on Tuesday, I cried again... she died in-utero at 30 weeks in 1993 - the hurt is still there, the memory of the pain is still there, but not as intense, not as debilitating... We can only really experience our own grief road, but we can share the journey, we can help each other when we stumble... xxClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236906641354002595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682149894835348782.post-80374198384627680822014-03-06T09:30:23.418+00:002014-03-06T09:30:23.418+00:00Beautiful thoughts.

The same day my daughter had a D&C to terminate an unsustainable pregnancy. Then 12/13/13 her father-in-law died unexpectedly in his sleep. I thought I had come to terms with my own impermanence when I fought cancer and these made me realize that even though my husband had been ill, I really had accepted the fact that I wouldn't have that good friend here. Everyone is my grief group has been amazed at how difficult this grief journey is for each of us. We are not only processing the grief of our lost one, we are processing old baggage, too, that is surfacing. Wishing you a Peace filled day.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825257012315494167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682149894835348782.post-14357617211563730982014-03-05T18:48:19.505+00:002014-03-05T18:48:19.505+00:00Well I've never particularly been a Maugham fa...Well I've never particularly been a Maugham fan, but isn't that just wonderful.
