last night was strange as my friends partied pretty good. mixed emotions about that. but it is what it is.

today , me and my friends fixed my boat , put it in the water and i took them for a spin.

im ok, comes in waves. weep often enough but never infront of the boys.


9,

Just a thought. I let my kids see me cry after my dad died (and then later, my brother in law). I figured that I was modelling grief/loss for them which they'd someday face when I pass on.

My hope is they'll recall that crying doesn't mean loss of control.

Our kids need to know grief does hurt and make us cry,

but that we do heal.

We do move forward even though something hurts us enough to make us cry.

How can them seeing you cry, and then regain composure, be a bad thing,

as long as you do, eventually, regain it?




have lots of support and love here.

need to work on the eulogy.
