Thanks to everyone checking on me and encouraging me.
Doing well.
Guess what? I didn't cry today. Not once.
That may sound odd, but seriously ... I usually shed a few tears or sometimes even have a good cry at least once every day since....oh, probably June when things started getting really bad. I don't know if I am unusual with that, but it is just the truth. And, you need to know I am not an overly emotional person, nor am I someone who typically shows a lot of emotion. The tears normally would happen when I am alone (driving, in the shower, first thing in the morning while H still snoring etc). So, I have been waiting for my first "tear free day" to celebrate! Woohoo! It finally arrived.
My IC has reassured me this is a normal response to grief and trauma, so that has made me feel better.
We had another good family day today. Another drive/hike in the hills with kids and dogs.
On a day like today, I think we are going to make it.
