In a FUNK.
I am officially in a Funk. I think it is a mixture of my grandfather dying unexpectedly, quitting smoking (Day 10), working my ass off (not literally =) and school/homework...... this is alot of shit on my plate. i am the type of person who gets things accomplished no matter what obstacles get in my way. I try to look at the positive in everything. I am a little wore out. I have been telling myself I will stop grieving after the funeral. the funeral came and went to quick. and i still am grieving..... i deal with death and dying all the time. i am a geriatric nurse. but this was my family. i thought when this time came i would have handled it better. i am good at handling other ppl family losses. that why i want to be a hospice nurse. but this my friends is hard.

I helped take care of my grandmother when she was dying from brain cancer. I thought that the grieving process would be quick because I was so prepared for it every day when I was caring for her, but it wasn't. I felt like I missed her even more, so I did things that helped me appreciate her memory. I made photo collages of her from her old photo albums. I finished some of her sewing projects, like right now I am working on a quilt she started but never got the chance to finish and I am going to use it on my daughters bed. With everything I did to try and remember her more, it helped me heal even faster and it was great therapy.
ReplyDeleteI hope things lighten up for you!
Thanks Nichole. That really helped me. I should start a collage. I think that will help aid in my healing process.
