Life. Every now and again it just eggs you in the face, you know?
I literally just deleted a super long blog post here. Decided that I'm not down for that level of sharing today. I'll sum up with this:
Death is awkward bullshit. Grief is ugly, and raw - which it's kind of supposed to be. When you lose someone, you feel - and those feels don't always make sense. Just let them be what they are. (Note to self, and anyone else who might be having issues). Let them be messy. Cry. Talk about the person you are missing. Be mad. Be sad. Whatever! Comfort the people that loved that person, if you can. Recognize that there is *nothing* you can do to help - except by making yourself available. Understand that you can grieve without telling the world about it - or you can tell the whole damn world if you want - but it's not a competition and there's no right way to do it. (See Mom, I did learn something!)
Me? I think I'll just be quiet for a bit. Do the best I can to support a friend I love dearly who is now a widow. Pass on all the extra love I can get together for a little girl, and little boy, who have no daddy now. I'll remember all the good stuff, the bad stuff, and the dumb shit haha. Rakkasan hooah!
