an old friend yesterday, sitting on a shelf gathering dust. I decided to put it back to use. After Troy passed, I started a journal. It was ever so helpful in my grief journey. Unless you have made this trek you know nothing about all the turmoil one suffers. You can’t begin to know unless you’ve walked in those shoes. So I’ve decided my journal helped me so much I want to continue sharing all that I’m feeling. At my age, I never know when my last day on this earth will be and if after my passing my journal offers understanding into what I experienced than it was worth taking the time to share. I want others to hopefully understand the pain I experienced when Troy passed but also the other pains I experienced as a result of his death. Losing Troy wasn’t the only thing I lost, it was just the beginning. Unfortunately you lose things and people you never thought you would. So onward with the renewal of my journal…….
