I was told about the 'accept' and 'adjust' that happens sometime during the second year after losing a spouse. <BR/>I understand why moving has helped and I wish I could. To be surrounded by a loved ones things, where he stood or sat and you could still see him in your mind, that makes it tough.<BR/>Hugs for the steps you are taking!Betts4https://www.blogger.com/profile/18037389343121979588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-76004655156137343612009-01-28T07:50:00.000-06:002009-01-28T07:50:00.000-06:00Laura, I am so very happy that you are indeed taki...Laura, I am so very happy that you are indeed taking care of yourself, you are a special lady, a wonderful mother, and this is such an important step for you. I am so very proud of you (crazy, I know, never even having met you!).<BR/><BR/>I take great comfort in reading this post. Although we're going through some rough times ourselves, this gives me a bit of a peek into what Mom must be starting to go through. And I hope that she'll get to this place too.<BR/><BR/>Take good care, and watch for those razor nicks :).<BR/><BR/>xoxoKaren MEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834425321020756655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-51063701357413599782009-01-27T23:35:00.000-06:002009-01-27T23:35:00.000-06:00My heart is happy for you Laura. big hugs and much...My heart is happy for you Laura. <BR/><BR/><BR/>big hugs and much love.Keshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033096549906041067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-48508285615773435392009-01-27T11:16:00.000-06:002009-01-27T11:16:00.000-06:00I am warmed reading your post.
