I had to take a break from my daily attempt at moving on without Karly.? I've
been trying to use the time and energy I spent caring for her on meaningful,
productive things.? All morning I have been sorting through mail and other
paperwork that's accumulated while I had better things to do (play with her).?
Now I am being taunted by the notebook in the corner, the one started while we
were still in the NICU, the one we've kept all her important papers in.? It's
taunting me because it was so important and now suddenly, it seems that it no
longer has a purpose.? Keeping it seems pointless but the thought of getting
rid of it makes me sad right now.? I don't even understand why really.? I know
it is not her or a peice of her or something I even liked when I still had her
here but the idea of letting it go seems wrong.? I suppose it would make things
more "official", like admitting to myself that she's not going to be back,?like
the death certificate I will be going to pick up th
is afternoon.? Strangely, that seems like something I want to do.? Maybe once
I see the certificate it will be less daunting to think of clearing away the
paperwork.?
Does anyone else remember this part of the grief?? Any advice or encouraging
words??
