[tri-wings] trying to move on

Dear Sophie,
I hear you.  I know where you're at.  I truly understand.  Your days are 
swirling in grief, and that is okay.  You don't have to rush yourself, even if 
you're feeling pressure from others.  Grief is such an individual emotion.  I 
remember feeling so much pressure from everyone else- they wanted the 'old' 
Christine back- but I didn't know where to find her.  It's hard to find 
motivation, it's hard to finding meaning in things that used to be important.  
Give yourself as much time as you need.  I knew logically that I needed to see 
a therapist, (heck, I AM a therapist- I knew it would help) but it took me a 
while to be ready to face it, because I knew it was going to be difficult.  
Finally I simply got sick of feeling miserable all of the time.  But it took a 
while.  Be gentle with yourself and know that there are others out there who 
understand.  You will find your way.  
Lots of hugs,
Christine
