In reply to Carol Ann. Hi Carol, grief is a process that isn't always logical. It's taken me tears to figure some of this stuff out ❤.

Thank you for how simply you express these points. So logically, I wonder why I didn’t figure it out sooner, myself. Oh yeah, I was too busy trying to pick myself up off the ground, getting back on track. Surprisingly simple baby steps, get up, get dressed, make the bed, open the blinds, turn on cheerful/happy music. Small successes, go for a little walk in the fresh air, speak to people I meet, even if it’s only hello. Arrive back home, without crying that’s a good day. I’m enjoying your posts. Thanks for being there.

In reply to Cindy Uzialko. Cindy, this is everything! I'm happy to know you "don’t need to know why because that wouldn’t change the outcome." A thousand times yes! You've come a long way and should be SO VERY PROUD ❤.

Thanks Kim. This was very timely for me. It’s been a little over two years since my husband died. I still constantly ask why but then I realize, I don’t need to know why because that wouldn’t change the outcome. I think accepting what life throws at you is the first step to realizing you can’t control everything. But you can control how you react. Thanks again for this message.
