Quoting jethro: I don't think the grieving process is "linear." I believe it comes in waves, similar to that roller coaster analogy we're always talking about. Snip. I think each time we get overwhelmed with feelings and come back from it, we're stronger. Experience the feelings, feel the feelings, then let them drift away and be replaced with some good PMA.
Wow. That makes a lot of sense.
Well, I fought off calling my husband for comfort.
Instead, I imagined him hugging me and telling me that we were going to be ok.
And then I imagined calling him and him being disapointed in me not sticking with my plan of NOT calling him.
And I was able to not call him.
I'm doing much better today.
I received Michele's taped version of Fire Your Shrink from Ebay last night! Woot!
Just listening to her voice helped me feel better...and getting KAW's hug helped a lot.
