Many people think they can handle it, but it's just not what it looks like to a bystanders. It's not always that it's heavy, either. It's just awkward and cannot be done alone. <br /><br />It seems your sadness is lingering, and it should. The love you hold for Kent is exceptionally deep. So too is the loss. Ben Harper says "It takes a hundred miles of love to heal a mile of pain". Losing a dearly loved one creates miles and miles of pain and despite your own and everyone's best efforts, the healing only appears to have been a scratch on the surface.<br /><br />Ralph, hold on. Cliffs are steep but negotiable. There is a top and there are brighter days. <br /><br />I am so sorry that you lost Kent. He was a rock. Please look upwards and forwards and to other metaphorically positive places. Grieving and mourning are not signs of your slipping, they are evidence you are climbing out of the pit. <br /><br />You are strong enough for this. <br /><br />Love - MBTHE BUCKSMITHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326532848055193798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640980870240526116.post-24042388866105277972012-06-19T06:02:45.381+12:002012-06-19T06:02:45.381+12:00I hope the next plateau is close, too, A. xoxtI hope the next plateau is close, too, A. xoxtnot a wild herahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311729777454859703noreply@blogger.com
