I know the future holds rays of sunshine for you. You will never forget Kenley and you will love her forever. You have so much love to share with her brothers or sisters. I look forward to that FOR you.<br /><br />Robin FullerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902924162234665124.post-48567764778099557522013-04-25T12:14:32.189-04:002013-04-25T12:14:32.189-04:00Grief is an overwhelming beast. It comes and goes ...Grief is an overwhelming beast. It comes and goes in waves. It rears its ugly head just when you least expect it. One minute you're fine (or as close to fine as you can be right now). Treading water. The next minute you turn around and there's a 60ft wave right behind you. You know. You can't escape it. You watch the wave crest. You know its coming. You watch it curl over your head. You take a deep breath and hold it. You brace yourself the best you can for the impact. There's no getting around it. All you can do is let it "ragdoll" you until it passes. Because if you struggle too much against it, all you will do is burn up the oxygen you so desperately need. Let it roll you til you can come up for air. <br />Will the waves ever stop? How long can you survive like this, just waiting. Waiting until the next time you can breathe again. Floating out in this sea of massive waves. Treading water. <br />Rebecca, all this is okay. All of this is par for the course. Its okay to feel these overwhelming feelings. Its even better that you can express them. I know you don't see it, but this blog shows that you are stronger than you even know.<br />So any feelings that crop up? Never let anyone make you feel like you shouldnt be feeling a certain way. The good, the bad, the ugly. Don't feel bad for indulging yourself in the things that others might tell you not to do. We both know they steer you away to "save" your feelings (and thats sweet and all), but f*ck that! You need to feel sad? Do it! You need to feel pissed? Do it! You need to smile? Do it! And never apologize for how you feel! (Not that you do...just sayin :)) <br />You seem to have a great support system in place. I'm happy for that. I see your friends, your dad, your sister post comments. <br />Keep holding on. Keep treading water. You're a toughie, whether you see it or not. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902924162234665124.post-73769729610833026542013-04-25T10:44:49.212-04:002013-04-25T10:44:49.212-04:00Some days I feel I'll see the top at any momen...Some days I feel I'll see the top at any moment and others my grip loosens and I slide further down. We will be forever on this cliff. My hope is that over time, the steep grade of the cliff lessens. And while we will always be on it, we will find points of rest and peace and our climb will be easier not because we've forgotten what brought us to a ledge but because we can look back and remember what brought us here.

Some days I may be ah...I will be climbing with you. Some days I may be ahead of you, other days I may be behind. This is the hardest climb of our lives. Maybe someday we can reach the top and find peace.Kelly Pavidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706633224425471604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902924162234665124.post-30175203564416090292013-04-25T07:43:15.839-04:002013-04-25T07:43:15.839-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kelly Pavidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706633224425471604noreply@blogger.com
