The wall of numbness

It’s strange – well, most things are the past couple of weeks – I know what I have to do, I make a list and I start out with good intentions. I get a couple of things done, today I put laundry away and checked emails and picked up around the house a bit, and then I hit this wall.

And I have to take a nap.

I know this is normal. I know it’s part of grieving.
It’s not normal for me. I rarely ever stop – my hands are moving, my mind is moving, I’m knitting, sewing, reading, something is happening. And now it’s not.

I’m so very grateful for my friends, they’re wrapping me up in love and comfort. So I know I’ll be okay. After I take a nap.

    Some kind of peace will come but it takes a while, wish we should sweep it all away. I use to wish those days a way after my last divorce because it hurt so bad, until I realized I was wishing days of my life a way and oh my gosh I’m getting older by the min!!! So I just did a lot more talking to Heavenly Father. The pain does get less and there will be more days in-between as time passes where you can do things and you’ll even have days of memories of things that will bring a smile to your face. Just know we are all praying for you and hoping you feel peace soon.

  5. Grieving has no rules and no timeline. I personally think it’s remarkable that you are able to accomplish any normal chores and tasks already. And think of napping as a momentary escape from the pain you’re feeling and treasure it.

    I’m glad your friends are supporting you during this time. We who read your blog are surrounding you with prayers and lots of virtual hugs as well.
