I'm a firm believer that whatever we experience molds us in another direction.. I know w/each loss I have had, my thinking, views and what I expect out of myself has changed what I felt before those losses... The image above definitely shows what u have experienced and what is going thru your head...reminds me of that adage: ' can't see the forest through the trees'.Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975146557947896931.post-53844682214462213752015-10-26T12:14:23.291-07:002015-10-26T12:14:23.291-07:00Yes my kittens help me every day.

I'm not really apologizing -- I think it's just that I'm more accepting of the process of grieving and becoming more aware of how it weaves through all aspects of a person's life. As an artist and creative my "goal" (up to now) has been to express my self through whatever I have the desire to create. With the grief process my desire to do any of that seemed to all but disappear. In the past I would have muscled myself right past any blocks -- and I haven't even had the desire to do that! <br /><br />I think things are starting to shift though -- mainly because I even had the desire to write about it here. And I was also curious that if I did post about it would I start to feel some motion around creating art again? We'll see!Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381185614415585450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975146557947896931.post-51445993013296019322015-10-26T05:30:06.961-07:002015-10-26T05:30:06.961-07:00I just thought of something...

She shows it by just studying me... she becomes more of a lap kitty... Your friend is right about what you're going thru... The wanting to sleep is your body telling u that it needs some definite rest, especially mentally...Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975146557947896931.post-42955190252886346272015-10-26T05:04:50.352-07:002015-10-26T05:04:50.352-07:00I can so relate to how overwhelmed u are feeling.....I can so relate to how overwhelmed u are feeling... I am sorry for your loss... I too lost both parents.. Dad, May 2012, Mom, Oct. 2012...and before u feel sorry for me, don't... U know I have had loss, my Dad's was expected.. he had a heart condition since he was 40.. heart attacks, pacemakers, then heart failure.. he lived a long life.. He lived 88 years.. Mom's cause was (as stated on death cert.) 'hypertension'... which I don't believe. and no not a broken heart which most would think... Mom defined herself thru others.. So I know u know what I assume.... <br />No need to apologize for what u can't creatively do... Life got in the way... How is your brother? I found writing letters to the ones who are gone, a big help.. it gets a lot off of your shoulders... Email me if u need to vent, I will 'listen'....
