Move furniture.
Garden.
Play Mozart very very loud.
For no particular reason I moved Barry's desk into the sitting room.
I suppose we all grieve in our own inexplicable ways.
So far, three ways - Move furniture. Garden. Play Mozart very very loud. For no particular reason I moved Barry's desk into the sitting room. I fear I am being credited with courage I don't have. I move furniture (why?), I garden when the sun shines, I play the Mozart piano sonatas and all is well, until suddenly I find myself overcome by a tsunami wave of sadness and tears against which I am totally helpless.
I suppose we all grieve in our own inexplicable ways.

Courage comes in many forms. Just getting up in the face of grief--whether it is to move furniture, garden, Mozart-listen, cry...these are all acts of courage and coping. Be easy on yourself and know that this is a journey where you have to allow yourself to simply be. Only you can determine what works for you in this uncharted territory.

The red desk speaks. It holds a presence. It contains.

I don't think anybody can ever predict or prescribe things that might help when you just HURT. If it makes you feel closer to him, then you have to do it.

I think you just need to carry on doing what you need to do, which is bound to change from moment to moment. You are in totally uncharted water , so living one moment at a time is all you can do. Be kind to yourself, and do what feels best for you. Much love Pennyxxxx
