Thank you ... from the bottom of my heart, Cathy. You are a very special and perceptive person, which I suspect makes the grief that little bit more intense.

Perhaps the grief feels worse when you're closer to feeling grounded? Closer to earth, to reality?<br /><br />Having suggested that, please don't leave. Don't float away. While your feet are on the ground (or all fours) you can at least start stepping, or running towards the future. A place where things don't feel so bad, so raw, so awful. <br /><br />Stay. Keep putting one foot infront of the next, and you'll get there. <br /><br />HUGS to you .xxxxx.flossy-phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207372419069284680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418984667689573403.post-79118346158092704272009-07-09T21:57:36.287+10:002009-07-09T21:57:36.287+10:00I love this post.

I think that women are so busy being so many things to others that we forget about what it is like to wake up in the morning to the chatter of other women and the joy of not having to plan one meal or do one load of washing.

It was a special weekend, and sometimes being there but not there is a way to spin and enjoy, while letting something painful like your grief slip through into wherever it will (eventually) settle in you. There are hard days and there are good days: moments of joy are in there, too.Taccolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125105947330114081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418984667689573403.post-61551381003037521762009-07-08T10:27:29.522+10:002009-07-08T10:27:29.522+10:00Sending you big hugs in this virtual sense.

The company of women - especially in the ancient 'sewing circle" context - is one I'm lucky enough to encounter regularly in my work - and a weekend at Sewjourn is a magical immersion in it. On grief - I feel the same as you. It's with me and there's not much I can do but let it ebb and flow. It hits at strange times.
