Loss, Grief, and Healing

Of the few that actually read this blog, Hi, how are you? Hope you are doing well. I will likely be taking a small hiatus from blogging, pictures and SL. I have the unfortunate task of preparing and planning a funeral for my grandfather. I got the news this morning and have been an absolute wreck all day. I'm clear across the country and can't exactly drop everything to be there right now.

To any and all who have also suffered a loss like this, you know what I'm going through. Sadly I am the pillar in my family as my parents are both out of the country so I'm left with the task of being logical and calm throughout this process. Today though I was not, because I don't have to be yet. Today I was given the opportunity to grieve and I am alone recently so I was left in silence for most of the day.

Except for Bear. Somehow he always knows when something is off and I was allowed to have a shoulder to cry on today. I don't think I would have made it through today as well as I did if not for him. So again...thank you.
