Thanks everyone for the comments and emails! It means a lot to me.
It’s kind of interesting how grief hits your differently….When my mom first died, I was ok and dealt with phone calls and emails in Denmark, then this week I was more sad about everything! Little things would trigger me and I’d get sad and start crying. Making breakfast the other day I just had a thought “oh I gotta remember to tell my mom about this on Friday when I call her” (my weekly phone calls to her), or Dan mowing the lawn, then I started worrying about how I’m going to be able to maintain the yard when he’s gone! I can’t do it all!! Or the girls bickering and I snap at them, how can I do all this if it’s just me and the two girls (figuring Solveig will be probably out of the house by then)…..All of this really sucks!!
I keep my faith and pray, but it’s so hard! I feel like Job in the bible!! and then ask WHY?? I may not know why yet or ever.
We DID have a somewhat normal school week and I got to sew a little bit too, so I feel a bit more NORMAL!
Right before Easter, Dan is going back for more tests and doctor’s visit, we’ll see what they say.
