Loss and Grief: How are you doing?

@muppey I think "things" or trinkets, for some people, are used to say what that person can not put into words. However if the person on the receiving end doesn't communicate that way it is meaningless for them. So it all gets lost. The giver gets upset and the receiver is confused. So you might think about this the next time some one gives you something. Thank them for thinking of you. Say something like "is there a special meaning". A lot of us do tend to put to much attachment into "Things".

@muppey Hello Mark,
Yes the zig-zag feelings come with loss and grief. I'm glad that you had a good experience with your brother's phone call and your meeting. Keep up those activities that are positive for you.
I wish you a better day tomorrow.

Hope you're there right now. I think I posted to you but my head isn't working right now.
My x just called and hung up on me and I'm not sure what to do. I've gone no contact with her and really am confused at the moment. Should I call back or just wait it out.
I know some people will play games with your head and I'm not into games at the moment and feeling kind of mean.
Got a clue.

@2011panc,
Hi again, just got off the phone with my brother Joe in Arizona. He called! Good talk!
I haven't been here for a few days because??? Things get going and I try to keep up. Going to the meetings is good, it's interesting that my heart stops racing when I sit down with those people, guess decent people can do that.
Someone, maybe hopeful or little one, can't remember mentioned that this healing goes in kind of a zig zag way and I think I'm zagging at the moment. Found some of Mary's memento's and jewelry stuck in a corner so I've been packing that and sending it via mail. Some is book rate so not to expensive. Had the pile sitting on my living room floor and it was bugging me so I sent everything except the jewelry so far. Then I found two boxes out in the barn so it will have to wait for next month to send. None of this stuff pertains to me, just pre meeting her stuff so I just jamb it in the USPS envelopes and send it, I don't go through it because I'm not interested. She can sort it.
Anyway I think I'm in a mean sort right now so I'll just say...Happy for you and your husband.
Write back if you would, you do help.
Mark
