Blue... Sometimes not my favorite color


I don't know what happened yesterday, but suddenly I found myself feeling very blue. I really had no reason other than missing my baby boy. I don't know what sparked these feelings, but I did allow myself a good little cry while Tebo was out shopping yesterday. It just feels like it wasn't enough. That sad feeling has carried over to today and as much as I would love to just stay home (alone) and be with my feelings, that just isn't an option when you have a job and very little to no vacation time left. I know a lot of people have told me I should see a grief counselor, but honestly I'm just not ready for that yet. I don't know if I could truly open up to a total stranger or not, but most everyone says I could. I guess we will see. Right now I would like to just be alone with my thoughts and memories and nothing more. I know I can't (and I won't) stay in this place long, but right now I just feel the overwhelming need to just be there. It was good to be busy Saturday helping Stacy and Leckey move and being with Peanut and Scooter. As tired as I feel now, it was good to stay that busy. I like being busy like that for a time, but now I find that I just want to be still with my thoughts. Trust me, it is as confusing for me as I am sure it sounds to you. I guess (as a wise man says often), "it is what it is". I'm sure this too shall pass.

  1. Sister, your feelings are right on track. Having your blue moments and needing your alone time are "OKAY"... Very normal..I wish daily that I could take your pain and sadness away for I know how you feel, and since I have already been through this once I wish more than every I could just take it away from you and give it to myself.

    I think seeing a counselor may take awhile, and that is okay too, you may choose to never see one and that is okay too, you are unlike anyone I have ever know, the love, your heart, you strength and the fact that so many people love you "Unconditionally" I know that you are doing the right thing for you. You have to take baby sets everyday and you will know what you need to do to survive. I love you so much BFF Sister and If I could take this all away I would!!

  2. Thanks BFF sis. I hate feeling like this, but I know it's part of it. I know you totally understand, but I can honestly say I wish you didn't. :(
