Well, today It’s been one week since I lost Dagny. Actually…. 6 days and 22 ½ hours to be exact. As much as I’d like to skip the 2nd 3rd & 4th stages of Grief & skip right to step 5: “the upward turn”, I know that’s not exactly how this whole process works.

I really don’t know how to write this blog. I didn’t want to. I just wanted to stay in bed under the covers and weep. I wanted to cry and scream and feel sorry for myself for all the challenges I’ve had to go through this year. Right now, it just seems like too much.
