Today marks 5 months since my husband died...in so many ways it seems more like 5 years...there are still times when I can't believe he's gone..the permanence of it all is so hard to bear but...
I read somewhere that our grief is like going up this huge staircase..at the top is gratitude for all that has been given to us..we climb those stairs one step at a time sometimes coming to a spot where we must rest because we may feel we can't go on..we take one step always moving forward..
As we go up we look to reach the top, but more importantly, we look below us and see how far we have climbed...
That's my goal today...to focus on how far I have come up that staircase...
Peace to all..

The staircase is an amazing way to explain this journey. I also can pause and take a look back and see how much I have accomplished and the steps I have taken to move forward since my husband's death. I think there were many people (including myself) who had doubts about how I would do . I married my husband when I was 17 years old. He passed on our 34th anniversary. I remember feeling as though there was nothing left to live for. But I am discovering strength I didnt know I had. I am discovering that I can do this one step at a time. Dont get me wrong, I have many times where the grief overwhelms me and tears pour. But I am blessed and I am choosing to find something positive in every day. Take care
