I love rules. You know, well-crafted, purposeful rules That make sense. Ones that keep us safe and healthy, Give order to our lives, Help us know what to expect. And I’ve been lamenting this week That sometimes there are no rules For how to move through a particular situation.
My condolences for your loss Amanda. Grieving is a process to work through. Focusing on the positives and being grateful for connecting when you did can help. I lost my sister and my father not too long ago, CoV related crud. A Hospice article mentioned that grieving can take funny forms sometimes - maybe even building something. That struck home because I spent a lot of strenuous exercise building a concrete tile patio where he had a bird feeder. It felt a little compulsive so the article helped clarify that maybe it was a little compulsive and part of my grieving. I did a little ceremony, ritual, on New Year's Eve saying good bye to he and my sister by singing a song and sharing the moment with my other sister.
Feeling regret about lost time, misunderstandings, or whatever, needs to not be wallowed in. Better to be grateful that you did get to connect.
Peace be with you.
I think my book is more simply titled "Things I learned the hard way."

I appreciate your book titles - esp the one about having to plan out dinners for forever. And I agree - no thank you. 😃
