Misspriss's blog post - just keep swimming

When I start to feel overwhelmed with grief I just think about my daughters favorite movie from when she was a toddler. Finding Nemo. And one scene in particular... and I just keep swimming. Life is good. I have a job. A car. Healthy children and a man who loves me. Most days I smile a lot. But im still missing her a lot. It's been 88 days. They say time heals all wounds. But I wonder how MUCH time it'll take for this hurt to subside. I had almost 37 years of the most genuine, unconditional love that I've ever known. And after 88 days I still feel so lost.
So I just keep swimming so as not to drown in my grief.

There is no time limit. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other, just keep moving .....

Grieving is a tricky thing. Remember her, honor her but do not let it take away from your other important things such as your kids and fella. She's looking down on you so make her proud.

People in grief need a safe place and safe people Missy. You have that with your children and man. Lean on them and don't hide what you are feeling with them. There will be good days and bad days but the good will outweigh the bad in your own time. Take care sweet girl xx

I lost my grandmother just a few weeks after yours passed, it seems. I completely understand your feelings and sentiments here. Most days, I cannot believe she is gone. Holidays will be difficult when they arrive. We will both just keep swimming, right? Much love to you -
