You ARE indeed doing the best you can.

Thank you for asking what we might want....we WANT & NEED these conversations of truth telling & being uncomfortable and crying and all that LOVING people who are now dead means for us left here. Left with memories, feelings, thoughts & a SILLY notion be some that grief has stages and "aren't you done yet?" questions. I am learning with you. I have also been grieving losses of my life's career as it was taken from me due to ill health & choices made Re housing that I regret. But I have not (yet) experienced the heart wrenching losses you have. Be or do whatever YOU feel you can & want to do for YOU! It's not about your readers as I see it. We are the back ups for when you want or need to share! Your cheerleaders! But not the "star"... that's you dear Sandra. So stop, start or keep on keeping on as the time & energy & mood allow.

I think we rush all forms of grief. All forms of discomfort. People don’t want to see them and I feel the blame lands on the person, who is just having perfectly human feelings!
