Kimmerz, my heart goes out to you. At the same time, I'm excited for you. Know why? You may not see it now, but you're finishing the grieving. It doesn't happen all at once and it doesn't happen as fast as we'd like. I go through some of that from time to time as well.
But like you, I have excitement again. I have joy again. I have things to look forward to. Oh, it's no bed of roses with some of the things I've had to deal with lately, but I am truly grateful for all I have and for my life. I know greater things are coming and I am eagerly looking forward to it.
I also know the pain and grieving doesn't go away quickly. Nor on a timetable. I can wait as long as I have to, but things are so much better these days than ever before it's hard to even think of the rest of it.
You are right on track, K. Keep it up and may you know God's blessings and peace this holiday!
AJ
