It's been four years since my husband died. Some days I feel like I've made wonderful progress. Other days I feel as though I'm walking through tar, trapped, messed up, stuck. This was one of those days. Your words remind me what a long, hard road is grief, and reading them made me feel less alone.

In spite of two ...Oh Suzann,<br />my tears keep falling.<br />In spite of two new grandsons during the decade just behind us. Happy Luck.<br />Ruben is dead. At the age of only 40.<br />Two of our cats as well. And the first week of December I had to bring two 6 days old kittens to the Vet... I was not able to to what was .. you know, <br /><br />But one of the really great happenings in the last decade was meeting and talking with you.<br />Which have given me strenght.<br />To believe in the Future<br />To be able to help people that need help.<br /><br />On Jan 29 we lit the light on Ruben's grave and then go to his fav Cafe, a cafe where his friends and the poorest in Oslo use to be. <br />We, of course pay food and beverages. <br />As we would have done if Ruben was still among us.....<br /><br />btw. My daughter, Ingelin, will move to Germany in some weeks time.<br />It's strange to have only one out of 4 kids living in Norway....<br /><br />hugs<br />TTorAahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044855607413895442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13732635.post-60536316254259268832010-01-04T22:34:41.061-06:002010-01-04T22:34:41.061-06:00I almost missed this beautiful post Suzann...I'...I almost missed this beautiful post Suzann...I'm so glad I didn't. A wonderful way to end this last decade and an equally beautiful way to begin the next.

Then on a jump drive I found one from 2000. It reminded me of where I was 10 years ago and one of the things I had asked at the beginning of that year: 'find that person who can help me open myself up to who I truly am inside and when I find them, have the courage to give them what they need as well as take what I need.' That did happen and I am still assessing what happened in those 10 years, the changes, the losses, the way that I did grow in ways I never imagined. I hope for us all that the next 10 years brings more joy and maybe less pain but the important thing is to learn from what happens and make the best of it.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13732635.post-83285025630578962562010-01-03T17:14:30.428-06:002010-01-03T17:14:30.428-06:00Hey Suzann...what a beautiful post.
