You might have noticed
that I count days…
Perhaps you’ve wondered why
So I’m just going to put it out here:
I count days
because every day that passes
means that I am still alive
that I was strong enough
to stay that way
and survive another day.
… there have been moments …
(especially early on
when grief was overwhelming)
that darkness was
pervasive and
I didn’t want to live
without my Love
because
life seemed like a
place devoid of meaning.
Many nights- especially nights
I was hanging onto the edge
of a cliff
by my fingernails.
But every
single
time
I felt the darkness closing in
someone would call or text
or my Love would come to me
in a dream or send a message.
So to those of you who call,
message, text, and bug the
crap out of me- thank you!
You are my unaware angels
because you
loved me
enough to check in
and you
shared your strength
when I couldn’t find mine
I will
refuse to give in
to the darkness
I will be here tomorrow
for
I am
Grateful
Thankful
and Blessed
to have you
in my life.
180 XO Lisa

When I was walking with Angie through her grief for her son I would see the little glimmer of hope when others reached out to her. She may not have wanted it but she needed it. A friend’s love, concern, compassion and prayers goes a long way. I am praying for you Lisa.

I am happy you are finding the strength to write through it 😔 though ‘inside it’ seems more fitting.
