I'm not ordinarily silent for long periods of time, but a lot of things have happened in the past few months that have made me shut down for a bit. It started in August, with a funeral for my husband's grandmother. That was not completely unexpected, although quite sad. However, a month later, it got worse as we lost my brother-in-law to a horrible accident. He was riding his dirt bike, lost control and went over an embankment. He wasn't wearing a helmet. I'm not going to go into details, but it wasn't pretty. I wasn't able to attend that funeral, but my husband went. It's been an up and down two weeks. He thinks about his brother every day. I don't know what I can say as I've never been in this situation before.
We're trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy. We have a lot of good memories and that's a plus. Now it's just move forward one step at a time.
