Allowing Yourself Not To Grieve

This sounds like an odd statement, but as time passes we have to give ourselves permission to move on. It's like a rollercoster of emotions going on inside you for so long that it's hard to get off the ride. You even talk yourself into believing that others will think bad of you if you smile or laugh or do something other than live in the shadows. Your son or daughter would not like you to live like that. They want to see you smiling and Oh Yes! I believe they can see us. So when you get to that bottomless pit, try to remember the smile on your childs face cheering you on. They may not be physically here, but they still share in our joy.
