The holidays can be a challenging time for some of us. I should say, for me they are. Crowded parties, markets, parking...everything gets so hectic. Even if you are not hosting you can get caught up in the frenzy. I made it through Thanksgiving and the "big" one is coming up. Gosh they have gotten so hard for me. Life moves on and I feel stuck in the past. It's so hard to describe but I know I have people reading here that have lost loved ones. I was told time heals but that hasn't been the case for me.
I've set the table for a close friend who is coming for dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to just the quiet of this evening and lovely talk. I crave these quiet times. How are you all getting on? Please do tell! x
I think maybe the "heals" are hard to see and feel- not really tangible. And I think that maybe there is a different formula for everyone. Like a custom made garment that will only truly and comfortably, fit one person. These are what I chalk things up to anyway.
ReplyDeleteWe just got home from the funeral of a young man (early 30s) who died after a years' long battle with cancer. His young widow gave the eulogy, the church was filled with his friends from all seasons of his life, and it was lovely, but so sad. I think it's important that we not compare ourselves with anyone else, grieving-wise. I'm glad you're having a friend to dinner.
