That's a huge part of what has changed for me since losing Aiden.<br /><br />I think some things change in the moment too for me. One minute you think you're ok with something and 2 seconds later you realize you totally are not. I know I have become someone who just has to survive in the moment- which is what I think we are all doing.<br /><br />Love the quote in your bathroom- just beautiful ♥♥♥Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10184755821618457912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356774295771707830.post-70146943763423325192011-09-22T00:29:57.402-05:002011-09-22T00:29:57.402-05:00You have a special place in my heart.

Although you made me laugh with the Tide detergent. You're such a rebel. But I know just what you mean about indulging in small things and not feeling bad about it, while at the same time feeling guilty for not being the kind of friend/wife/daughter I used to be. I know it's gotten easier, but damn it's still so hard.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946311309467296976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356774295771707830.post-18752573438518012872011-09-21T08:34:34.267-05:002011-09-21T08:34:34.267-05:00I 100% understand where you are coming from.

I dont have any words of advice as we are all ships that have lost control of our steering... we are slowly drifting about this ocean of grief, going into uncharted waters. And though we are all drifting in our own directions and where the wind may blow us, we are still in the same ocean.

I let my loss turn me into a more compassionate person though, and that was the one thing that helped, connecting with others that have also lost. The other thing is that I wanted to live my life for both myself and Adrian, and that meant that I had to pay particular attention to the things I would spend my time and energy on, and to make myself do activities that I thought Adrian would have liked to do in his childish energy, like toboganing (I did not feel like it, but ended up enjoying it somewhat). If environmental or social causes don't present an interest to you, how can they, who cares about them when you have lost so much, what can possibly compare to your grief. Don't spend a second feeling guilty about any of these changes, they are so natural and they are what you need at this point in time. I found that others tried to change me with their advice aimed at "moving on", don't listen to them, do things as they feel right for you. This post is a treasure for others who grieve.MrsHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277631338883839373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6356774295771707830.post-52047757415763185182011-09-20T18:59:00.494-05:002011-09-20T18:59:00.494-05:00You are a thoughtful wonderful friend ((hugs))

Who would want to befriend me-- someone who is antisocial, angry, hurtful, sensitive, etc.? But then I also know that I've become a more compassionate person amidst others' tragedies and I know I'll definitely be a kick-ass mother. If only I'd get that chance in real life. Sigh.

I get nervous when I go to the same support group I've been going to since March, for fear that someone new will show up. I can't tolerate people either. And instead of being super-emotional, I'm like emotionless now. I can't even cry anymore. I used to express it all. I can't, and I don't want to. It's so strange. Sorry to hear that your safe show betrayed you. It actually made me really mad to read that. Life has changed. :(Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04548457462997589508noreply@blogger.com
