Trying to move forward after all the drama and chaos of dealing with my addict sister isn't as easy as I thought it should be,feeling sad and greiveing the loss of a what use to be tons of years ago a very close sister,as painful as it may be I've got to pick myself up and forget the past so that I can move on.....thanks and wondering what you alls thoughts of this or on this would be........hugs .....lu
Grieving is a process LU so be gentle with yourself, allow yourself to feel the feelings, share about hem with your sponsor ond here and be willing to let go of the anger and resentment and ask HP to lift it. In time they will lift and you will be left with solid positive memories without the regrets. Please remember to keep doing your asset list and gratitude lists daily
I agree with Betty - it's a process. Staying present in this day only works well for me too when I am grieving, especially the 'what was and/or what could be' mode. God works miracles around us each and every day - I have to remind myself in moments of pain, stress, grief that it's not always going to be as is and the best is yet to come. I truly believe this - but when I'm in the grieving mode, it often feels like it's not going to get better - this too shall pass LU!
I too am sending (((hugs))), positive thoughts and prayers...
