Grief responses are fickle. After a couple of them, you think oh that's what that was. I think I get it and then another happens. I had “Complicated Grief” according to my previous therapist. Whatever it was, I found myself I the middle of a school gymnasium after my daughter's volleyball match just sobbing. That was 15 years after my husband's death. I get it.
Fortunately, it all eventually becomes easier. Peace to you.
Thank you for sharing. Isn't it strange what will illicit a grief response?? My state university basketball team is a major rival with the large university in town. College basketball here is KING! Watching college basketball with my dad was a way of life, our own language, a major part of our relationship. (Does that sound weird? I hope not!) He taught me so much more than loving basketball & how to play, but it was always an easy & fun topic to go to. I can hardly talk about it anymore b/c it reminds me of him so so much! I guess we never know when or how we will be met with those feelings! Can't wait to hear all about Japan! The travel details, the boys thoughts, the food, & Wendy of course! Is Petey staying w/ Tony, Flo & The Beef Lord? Sorry for long message!
