YOU’RE MY ANGEL – PART 1

Posted on January 19, 2013 by Judy

You are my angel in the sky, like a butterfly
you flew away and couldn’t stay
we had to say goodbye
love can never die
so you must know I miss you so
my angel in the sky Continue reading →

Was I really helping other people with my optimism or bringing myself back into my former sad world? I’ve written many times that the amputation of my soul was a permanent condition. And I’ve also said that grief is not recoverable. Such a contradiction to announce that I have healed! So in order to be more consistent, from now on I am going to say that, “I’m still healing,” instead of saying, “I have healed.” Grief is a process. It will follow me for the rest of my life.

MEMORIES I TREASURE

Posted on December 21, 2012 by Judy

I do have a strong attachment to memories. My memories might involve “objects,” but those objects only serve as a way to remind me of memories filled with special people whom I’ve loved. Some of those memories are sad. Currently, I’d like to think that I am creating happier memories. There are many “firsts” in my life, as I am now living on my own at the age of 53 for the first time in my life. Continue reading →
