I do not trust my instincts anymore. Grief and anxiety are tricky combinations of
confusion. Chronic vigilance seems like
the only route to take. I want to protect
me, my family, my friends, loss is waiting for me everywhere, I have to be
prepared this time!
I am learning that simple acknowledgment is my most powerful
tool! It does feel counterintuitive, but somehow being honest with myself about
how I actually feel in an uncomfortable situation or moment changes it. I just have to tell myself the truth…”This is
fear, I am afraid of more loss”…It does not always stop it, but it “softens”
the blow and slows my raw emotions from running amuck.
