What stage of grief is this? I woke this morning teary. I have thought to myself, "You have been missing it. This is your punishment." My punishment for not participating in my life. My punishment for being afraid of everything. My punishment for my self imposed isolation.
No, sweetheart. You aren't being punished. You haven't done anything wrong. It's a challenge, a speed bump maybe forcing you to slow down and re-evaluate what's important.
ReplyDeleteIntellectually, I know this, but on some base level it feels like a punishment.
