Cry.
Cry.
Cry.
Conduct the business
of carrying on without him.
Wear black
Deny.
Deny.
Deny.
Scream.
Vomit.
Listen to well-meaning strangers
say inane things like,
"Happy New Year!"
and
"Have a nice day!"
Try with all your might
not to punch them.
Sigh.
Sigh.
Sigh.
Cry.
Cry.
Cry.
Left foot.
Right foot.
Left foot.
Right foot.
Breathe.

This is very powerful, and raw.
Thank you.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
My heart hurts for you, honey! I pray for your peace and comfort every day.
The longer I sit here trying to decide what to type the more I realize that there are no words to ease your pain. I will pray you are carried through this darkness by God's grace. Sending you love.
So very sorry for your loss...I love your in lieu of flowers below...what a loving way to remember someone by spreading Love.
You and your li'l sweetie will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry. We just lost our best friend to multiple myeloma last week. Right now, my husband and I are at the Mayo Clinic and he is in the final stages of Pancreatic Cancer. I saw your entry on Robin's blog and had to come right away. I am doing a little "pre-grieving" but I know that nothing is like the real thing."
We also are Congregationalists in Minneapolis.
Fondly,
Suz
I like the "try not to punch them"
People say such stupid, un thought about things. I now try to be more thoughtful befor I speak.
Sorry to read of your loss.....love the advise.
My heart is with you even though I don't know you. I have been through the same thing, and your list is spot-on.
You will survive but you must take the time to grieve, and I will personally smack anyone who tells you after a few months that you should be "over it." You'll never be over it, but you will learn how to live with it, because truly the terrible pain will slowly recede with time.
