I am failing at the grieving process.
I felt the exact same way until I learned that everyone grieves in their own way. There is no detailed process, per se, but only a vague "thing" though which we must walk, and no two of us walk through it the same way. Some walk though it faster, some walk through it slower, some veer one way while others veer another... but we get through it, somehow, in our own time and in our own path. There is no prescribed "correct way," regardless of what anyone else tells you.
Something that I heard, years ago, remains with me even though I forgot where I heard it: When we lose someone close to us, it puts a hole in our heart. Nothing will ever fully heal the hole, but the grieving process allows us to learn to live with the hole. Understanding that point has helped me tremendously.
I love the portrait! And I love the haiku! I wish you peace, and light, and love... 💖
Thank you so much for your comment! Yes, there is a hole. But there is also all the fullness of the years we spent together. Growing older is very interesting I must say. It is not possible to learn some things without going through them a few times, and grieving is one of them I suppose. Although I've done it very differently for others who have gone. This one perplexes me!
