Saturday, I felt better, meaning it was the first day I felt myself smile and feel a calmness. That was SO short lived because I woke up this morning in a funk and found myself sad again. Today it has been one week since Dymond’s passing and I am still so VERY sad. My Mom scheduled a memorial for Dymond tonight at rainbowsbridge.com (you can search her name) and it is for everyone, who has loved and lost a pet. Some of you may want to do this as well. 🙂
Thank you for the continued support, love, encouragement and uplifting sentiments. I greatly appreciate each of you, as you have made this transition that much easier to cope with.
Testing…..testing……
As you know from our conversations, we’ve all had trouble posting on some vlogs. This is the first time I’ve been able to get my response through.
Yes, this is so normal…and still so hard. You have a brief moment where the fog of grief is lifted. You actually notice…and then the suffocating grief co es back as though everything jjst happened all over again. Just know when you do have those moments where
Sally I do feel suffocated by the fog again. Last week I hardly ate and I didn’t sleep much.
Okay…that was divine intervention…here u r on the telephone….but that’s another sign from Dymond……….I’m smilung because im typing while talking to you….
I am able to smile because it is wonderful to have people (like you) who care enough to take time out of their day to offer kind words. I’m so grateful…
Such a roller coaster Katrina! It must be doubly hard because you were not expecting her to leave you in the way she did, so suddenly. You just have to hang on and go for the ride. I swear it will get better, little by little, day by day. It is OK to grieve hard, after all, you totally opened your heart to your baby girl. And, its only been a week! BUT, it is also OK to begin to move out of the abyss. Dymond doesn’t want you to be unhappy, she wants you to live life to the fullest, like she did.
Sending you peace and love from the Oaktown Pack,
Martha
Yes Martha, a roller coaster is an understatement. It is hard and I guess I have been grieving hard. Being here with you guys helps SO much.
It is normal to feel that way. I know we all have going on this part of the journey. It can hit months later. someone can say something and it will just bring it on. It doesn’t even have to be about Dymond
