I have spoken to several people about grief this week. Grief is a burden we all must carry in life, some more than others, but somehow we keep moving forward. I was thinking today about how mad I get at Molly sometimes for leaving me - for leaving us - for leaving me alone. The reason I am sharing this is because we often get put into situations where we feel we are wrong for feeling something, that it is not OK to feel the full spectrum - especially those things that seem too awful to discuss or too weird to try and explain. But it is OK to feel everything from sadness, to joy, to anger, and the list keeps on going. When we grieve we must know it is OK to feel on all levels or we can never heal. To so many people I know who have suffered loss, not only recently, but maybe many years ago, it is OK that the feelings come and go and that you keep living your life. We are only given a short time here on Earth - so continue to live and love and never forget.
