The “funny” thing about grief is it has its own timetable.

You might have thought you were “done” grieving your losses. In fact, you might actually be happy–cognitively–about being done with a crazy-acting cheater.

Yet your head does not dictate this process.

The heart has a way of getting its way. You cannot out run the feelings because you bring your heart everywhere you go.

A better way is to acknowledge the feelings. Learn to be a friend to yourself free of judgment. You feel what you feel. And that is okay.

This is what I am telling myself this weekend as I have been in a funk. It is fine to have feelings even many years after the loss. That just means what was lost mattered to us. No shame it that!
