Just Checking In...

Just wanted to post and let everyone know that I'm doing ok. Physically I'm ok - still a little pain, but not bad at all. Emotionally - it will just take time. I have plans to start counseling soon, so I'm hoping that will help. We celebrated Peter's birthday yesterday, so I have pictures to post soon for that as well.

Please keep praying for us.

I am okay with you not being okay right now. Glad to hear that you are healing well physically. This loss after this challenging year is a big deal, Kara. I hope you don't feel the need to comfort your readers or anyone else as you go through this time of trial. We will be okay. I hope that you find a path back to joy through all of this pain. With love from a stranger,
Summer

Kara,
Thanks for the update. Glad your body is healing nicely. As for the emotional side of things, it takes time like you said. Grief is a tough road to walk. I remember likening it to standing knee deep in the ocean and having huge waves come and knock me down. Sometimes, more waves would come before I could get back on my feet. Other times the waves weren't so big. Sometimes moments of sadness would come out of nowhere. Grief at times seems so random.
I went to counseling as well. I'm glad you are taking that step. My loss triggered so many things from my childhood that I had to deal with. Wow! I'm glad I went and dealt with all that stuff.
Thinking about you often.
Marcella :)
PS I'm avail if you want to email or talk.
