-exhausting, at times you may feel like getting through the day is an accomplishment.
-good for getting the house clean, because working yourself to exhaustion is easier than thinking about it.
-bad for your health, some days eating goes unnoticed.
-expensive.
-hard on your loved ones, because they find themselves at a loss of how to help.
-thirsty, when you cry a lot then you drink a lot (water).
-confusing, sometimes there is no handbook, there is a lot of gray area, and burying a child doesn't make sense.
-maddening, waiting for blood results, crossing t's and dotting i's for events that are no fun, hearing the crap people aren't supposed to say or worse yet not hearing from someone at all, it's okay to be selfish and be mad.
-strengthening, I've never felt so close to God and many new women I'd like to call friends.
-not normal, not only have I lost what was within me, but a future...how do I plan?
-lonely, because you don't want people close to you seeing you coast or strangers to not understand.
-faking it until you make, because surely you'll make it at some point...right?
-loving someone you never knew.
-laughing, because if you don't then you'll cry.
-different for everyone.
We are born for loss. It demands so much patience...and patience seems to be the most difficult of all virtues. Picture your loving brother Jesus next to you...say, in the passenger seat of your car...and tell him all...I have found that to be a source of peace....And know that I support you in my prayers every single day....love you JUlie
