...is an individual process and experience.
Many of us survive horrors in life and react accordingly.
We either dwell in the misery or try hard to move on.
Death of loved ones are the most difficult.
Many have the attitude of going on for those that we lost, as that is what they would have wanted.
Sometimes this works for coping, and other times it takes a while to absorb that positive way of handling things.
Naturally everyone heals emotionally at their own pace.
But if anyone notices that it is taking too long or having a negative effect on their surviving loved ones we must try hard to intervene as gently as possible or bring in professional help.
Sadness and crying helps.
Talking too.
People do understand.
You might be pleasantly surprised on how much.
Moving on...
To all our northern Gulf coast neighbors we hope that encounter with Hurricane Nate was not too violent, and from all recent reports they did fare better than the southern areas of the Gulf did.
And now Nate is no more!
Whew!
Moving on some more...
In spite of my achy bits, I did accomplish many things today, laundry and dinner.
Hubby has been consistently working down on the dock and lift.
We have shared indoor chores, if one makes a meal the other does the dishes, and vice versa.
Alternating meal preparation too by one another.
I do seem to have the job of laundry though most days, but Hubby does make the bed, since he is last out of it, and he usually does the changing of the clean sheets weekly, although I do them too.
Towels are changed twice a week and that is my job.
Due to retirement for Hubby these last eleven years, except for BIG projects we share most all jobs of domestically!
This way we keep our partnership just that!
But of course... 46 + years!
Although, when I have so many bad days and I do, Hubby does everything.
Not fair, and sure I have tons of guilt, and he even gets exhausted and sometimes is not happy about it, any of it...and so some days are just downright hard.
But then things change again and we manage just fine!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Life an amazing ever changing thing!
