Stage 2 Acute Grief and immediate attention REQUIRED.

<< < (2/2)

sunblue:
Phoenix' response prompted a thought.  I have crying jags but not the kind that seem to be the end-all, be-all, this-is-the-final-cry kind.  However, yesterday, I was so upset by the holiday family dysfunction that I did something I've never done in my life I think.  I was in a car at a traffic light and started to cry uncontrollably----the heaving sobs kind and then I started screaming at the top of my lungs.  I just felt the pain and grief so acutely I couldn't stop myself.  Then, of course, I realized that I was risking the potential of getting pulled over by the police should they pull along side me and had to stop.  I was also afraid I might get in a traffic accident. LOL......Not sure if the grief ever really goes away.  There's a hole that is so huge it never really gets filled.  But I do think crying can be a good thing...a release..  But for me, talking..or writing.....is an even better release...if you can find a kind shoulder or ear.

Hopalong:
I'm glad you had that purge, Sunblue...
sounded so painful but sometimes those are labor pains.

Birth of a self who's less attached to an impossible outcome, blood from a turnip or turnip juice from a stone...

Hope your new year brings new interest in your own life, apart from the turnips in your orbit.
