Today is one of those days..if you are reading this blog you know what I mean….a day when you feel alone, lost, low on energy to pick yourself up to face the world. Yes, you see for all my positive writing it happens to me!
This feeling is awful, and I feel OK thinking like this because I have learned to trust myself to come through it…so today I will allow myself to feel down. Tomorrow I will write down a couple of action points that I will achieve over the coming days to kick start my life again.
For today, I will feel alone, I will feel down, I will feel that I just don’t want to see anyone. Today I will struggle to understand that anyone else can feel like this, I will struggle to see what is the point…..Days like today are just a sign that I am still struggling on the journey through grief. No matter, I am not mad – I am just human!
Would love to hear your thoughts on how you cope with these days and is it just Valentine Day blues?
This year is the first Valentine’s Day that I felt pretty good about being alone. Accepting, okay, almost content in my singleness. It took me four years to get here. My husband would have brought me a box of candy, even though I always told him no candy. lol. We all get better with time. It’s part of the healing process. elaine
Elaine – thank you for sharing. Two thoughts I think if I was you I would be tempted to buy some candy and smile as I ate them! Also I think comfort comes when you know that you may be single in life but in love your hearts will always be together…
