“When sudden death erupts into your life, your whole way
of understanding the world is rocked. Previous interests – even things you
loved – can seem futile.
You aren’t the person you were before. This experience of
love that you’re living has knocked you off course. When you gain your footing
again – and that takes the time it takes – you’re going to be facing a
different direction. You’ll have to find out how you fit here now, who you are
in this new place.”
~Megan Devine
It does take time…more time than I had imagined! I had kind of expected the “recovery” to be
like recuperating from an illness, with a recommended timeline, although I was never clear who recommended it or how long it should be. That is not how it works! But as I just begin to find my footing again
I am finding that I am facing in a very different direction, and it is both frightening
and exciting at the same time.
