What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

I did not want to sit up this morning. Not quite sure what I wanted that would have eased the uncomfortable feeling I was feeling. Still not sure of myself for the day. Trying to take it a little at a time and not go run and hide in bed.

I feel pretty good today. I am being flooded wit memories all good about my husband before he got so sick with the dementia. I while taking care of was so busy taking care of him, that I had completely forgotten all of the good, because I was just surviving being his caregiver.

I am happy that I have so many really great memories throughout our thirty six years together. I do not feel good that I had forgotten how wonderful he was with me.

So I am doing battle with feeling regrets which I think are normal in losing a loved and cherished one. I keep on telling myself that I am only a human being and that seems to be helping the most.

I was too busy surviving to remember. Now the grief shows up almost every day, everything around me reminds me of him and I feel so sad and then let the feelings of grief flow through me and it passes until the next time.

I am so grateful to the people who told me that the second year was the hardest. So I am greatly encouraged to just allow what is to happen naturally.

I don't want to be depressed, scared, tired, sad, and not seeing the good. I want to be positive, hopeful, happy, energetic, excited. I am in once place and trying to move to the other and just not making it too well.

I'm feeling good. Hubby and I went to York (6 hour round trip) to see our youngest daughter. We had a lovely day and went out for lunch.

I'm feeling determined to relax and enjoy myself at our churches Thanksgiving Dinner today. Crowds and groups make me feel very uncomfortable, but there is no good reason to let that continue to be the case. I will get past this fear.

I am better then I was yesterday. No longing to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head.

I feel nervous as I am going away with my family tomorrow, just overnight but I didn't ask to go nor was I invited. The booking was made for me as a birthday present. I'm not ungrateful but it is in a posh hotel and I don't really do posh. I get anxious with my family and very triggered. They do not understand this of course.

You never know - I might just surprise myself and enjoy it! ;)

I'm less depressed, but not functional yet.

I'm feeling proud of myself. I enjoyed our church Thanksgiving lunch and even introduced myself to a couple people. I've only been going to this church for a short time with S, so I don't know many people. S grew up in this church, so knows A LOT of people. It is overwhelming at times, but today was good!

Satisfied but also missing all of my animal friends today.
