Allowing myself to continue living.

Allowing myself to continue living.

I have been thinking a lot about my wife Claudia during this Holiday Season, beginning with Thanksgiving and continuing right through to the end of the year, and into the New Year. I have to tell you I wind up in fits of melancholy that are really hard to bear.
"No matter how bad a day feels, it is only a day.  When you go to sleep crying, you will wake up to a new day." quoted from Teryn O'Brien's blog.

As Teryn stated in her article, you do wake up to a new day. Something I have done to help me get through my grief is to write about Claudia and what she meant to me. I have written about her on Social Media, on my blogs, and even done a Devotional Article for publication in my church's Pamphlet. All of this has helped me to continue to deal with my loss.

Thinking back to my youth, I can remember my grandparents and my parents talking about death. What I remember is; everybody considered death is a part of life. When your time comes to die, there won't be anything you can do to stop it. That doesn't mean we didn't suffer the grief from the loss of a friend or a relative, it just means we accept it.

The trick is to keep on keepin on, as the saying goes. So that is what I'm doing now, keepin on.

God Bless us all.
