Having a hard time
I’ve been really busy this weekend with my little girl’s 4th birthday and my 6 year olds cheerleading exhibition but I’ve been eating okay and working out, but I’m heartbroken. My grandmother passed away August 26th and I am having a really hard time again. I guess with the holidays coming up and all it’s breaking my heart all over again. My 23 month old little bo is having surgery Thursday to get his tonsils out so that’s been worrying me to death too. I just doint know what to do. Today I can’t shake it and keep going like I usually do. I don’t want to do anything. I got up and did some yoga this morning, but that’s it. I’ve been sitting on my butt crying all day. I just don’t know what to do. I need to pull it together, but I don’t know how.
I feel for you. I am really dreading the holidays this year. I do know the workouts can help lift your spirits though, you might have to force yourself but it is worth it. Hugs, Kama
So sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Kama is right sometimes a good work out help to shake the blues. I guess we all just need to reach out to each other and talk out our feelings. Holidays are never easy. Hang in there kama and Danielle. Hugs and prayers to you both.
Take this time for yourself. There is no reason why you can’t have a day to cry. You have good reason to cry, and every right to fully express the emotions you are feeling. I understand why you would want to stop it, but it is healthiest for you to let it out. I think it is wonderful that you did some yoga this morning! Take care of yourself, and give yourself some extra TLC. I hope you feel better soon, but take the time you need.
Danielle, I think it’s normal to feel the way you are. When I lost my grandma, the first years after her death were very hard because I had spent every Christmas with her since I was born. I still miss her. Awww, how scary to have a little child having surgery!!!! I would be worried to death too if my kids were having surgery too. He will be ok. Hang in there! We’re here for you!
Danielle I’m sorry to hear about your grandmother. Everyone else has given some very good advice. The one I most agree with is, there’s no shame in taking some time to cry!
Just remember she’s there with you. My grandmother passed away in summer of 2004, and that Christmas my dad got all our old rolls of film developed for my mom. Well, he took out all the pictures of my Gram so my mom didn’t get upset. He put them in his dresser drawer. On Christmas morning, their touch light, which sat on top of his dresser, turned onto low, then medium, then high. My dad got up and turned it off. Then it did it again, and my mom, not knowing the pictures where there, said “That’s my mother telling us to get up and get ready for the day.” My mom bawled and bawled when my dad told her the pictures were under the lamp. We all know she’s still there with us for the holidays. Just don’t forget that.
