Coping wih Grief - A great article about "Going On"

Here's an article I ran across the other day, and wanted to share:


http://www.nwitimes.com/niche/get-healthy/health-care/going-on-how-we-cope-with-grief-and-loss/article_d695e9c6-edce-506e-b199-aa90f40662c7.html


It's an article in the NY Times about grief and grieving.  Hope it's helpful!  :)

Re-post: Police/Sheriff "Ride Along"

Here's another "re-posting" from "Starting Over ... Again."







Police/Sheriff "Ride Along"

At the Three Year Mark

Well, today marks three years since my husband died.  Three years that sometimes seems to have been an eternity, and other times seems to have gone by in a heartbeat.  Depends on which day you ask me.


As I was driving home from work last night around 10 p.m. I suddenly felt very quiet inside, and a little empty.  The very next song that came on the radio made me tear up a bit.  I didn't know what was wrong with me.  It's not "that time of the month!"


During the drive home (it's a 30 min drive) I thought about what might be causing this sudden melancholy.  As I tried to shake this feeling, I switched gears to thinking about the rest of the week and what I had planned.  Then it dawned on me - today is the 18th of June.  And that meant that tomorrow (well, today as I write this) is June 19th.

THE day. 

June 19th, 2011 - Father's Day, that year.

They say that your conscious mind may not remember right away, but your body remembers.  Your unconscious always remembers; always keeps track of the days and dates.  And even though I don't mark time now quite the same way that I have over the past few years, I still am brought face to face with certain days - whether I want to be or not.

A post from my other blog, "Starting Over ... Again."

Here is a not-so-recent post from my other blog, which I have called "Starting Over ... Again."  I haven't posted anything recently on my blog here, so I thought I would share what's been going on in my life.


So please check it out - I hope you like it!  :)


Update on Training ... and please, lock your phones!
