Hi From Myself And Daisy

Hi everyone, it's been quite a while. The last time I was on mylot was not long after my brother passed away. I haven't been able to deal with his death very well. Even now, it's been over a year and it's still tough for me. I was thinking about him yesterday and the pain felt just as fresh as it did the day he died.
I am hoping that I will be able to be back on mylot again but time will tell. With the holidays just around the corner, it's going to be hard.
One good thing is I have been in touch with my youngest sister. We had not spoken for over 10 years. She lives in Tennessee and I live in Kentucky so we aren't living close to each other. Her and I text each day and talk on the phone about once a week. I don't feel quite so lonely anymore.
I feel the need now to reach out to all of my friends on mylot. I have missed you all and I hope you understand why it's taken me this long to write.

Real life does take prioriety. Don't forget that. Grief is a process and pain fades on it's own over time. You just have to trust the process.

There you are. So happy to see you and Ms. Daisy. It will always be hard. Be easy with yourself. I am always here for you, remember that. I don't do holidays. And you have a choice as well. Happy to hear about you talking to your sister. That is great news. Take care of yourself.

So glad to hear from you and Daisy is just adorable, No worries we're all here as usual and glad you checked in, Glad to hear you can contact your sister, Your brother is now watching over you and is close by, It's been four years since my husband passed away and I still find it hard but the memories are great and it makes things easier,

Thanks for stopping by to visit me. As I mentioned, I think of you all the time and Miss Daisy, too, especially after our last phone call.
I’m so glad you have reconnected with your sister. Hopefully, you will remain here, and I’ll see you soon.

@simone10 Maybe find a support group so you have someone just to talk to as needed.

I remember about your brother. How are you and Daisy doing? Thank you for putting Daisy in the picture. I am sorry how hard it is for you. Just come back when you are ready to. I am glad that you reconnected with your younger sister. Loss is very hard and I know you and your brother were very close and lived together too so it must be so hard for you during the holidays and also without holidays. Come back when you are ready.

Now, I understand it better and I know you two were very close and lived with each other that you have all those memories and how hard that must be too. I am so so sorry about your loss but so glad the way you are looking at it that you had the 10 years together.

First let me say how happy I am that you are back!!! I'm so sorry that this past year has been so rough but there's no limit on the grief timeline.
I'm glad you're back in touch with your sister and that you're texting and talking often.
We've missed you and Daisy

@simone10 it's so true Sharon. This is a circle of friendships that mean so much. It's likely we'll never meet in person yet I feel as if I know so many people here
It's wonderful having a place to come to share everything both good and bad. Its comforting

@LindaOHio Weve been talking about it. She has a lot of health issues and doesn't need to be alone.

Understood. Loosing a loved one is never easy, and I know from experience, you never get over it. Every year their birthday, holidays and other remembrance, remind us they're gone. Healgrief.org lets me put up a virtual candle for my departed loved ones and I feel better, knowing, they nattered. Then, my heart reminds me, of the happiness we shared and as the memories engulf me, I feel the courage to carry on, without them.

Ok. Healgrief.org is helpful. My colleague, suggested, writing a journal to the loved ones that passed. You'd write, sometimes telling them, things you wanted to, but can't now. Or sharing with them, on paper, what you would have, if they were living. Etc. This really helps me.

@oahuwriter I may do that. I think it's a great idea.
