The Right Way
"There may be suggestions about 'the right way' to grieve. You may come to wonder what the right way really is. Fortunately, there is an answer. The right way is your way." (Miller, 1995)
I remembered that a month before you died, I sought counseling to help me through the challenges of caring for you. I wasn't sleeping for three weeks and I needed to find alternatives to help me get through this hurdle. After you died, I sought the help of a grief counselor. It took two sessions before I made a decision that in order to heal myself, I have to write about my journey with you.
And so here I am in grief but seeking treatment through my own cathartic expression. This blog is my journey to grieving and healing. I don't know how long it will take or if my grieving will ever end or if it will metamorphose into something else. All I know is that when I am alone with my thoughts and feelings, I can see more clearly what I have to do.
My way is the right way.
