I Know

I Know...

I know not expect you to be better at handling my grief than I would have been at handling yours before my loss.

I know that you can not know what this experience is like if you haven't been through it.

I know that you want to help me.  You mean well.

I know that I can't expect for you to know how I feel unless I express to you how I am feeling.

I know that you cannot read my mind.  If I am hurting or need support, it is my responsibility to ask for what I need.  That is if I know what that is myself.

I know that you are grieving Matt too.  How sad you may feel too.

I know that every night when it is time to rest, I thank God for all of the well meaning and lovely people in my life.

Thoughts for the day:
Sorrow:
Sorrow are the tears you cry, and the ones you hide so that no one knows that you are hurting inside.


Understanding:
Understanding that the only thing you can count on in life is change.
