Day 29 of #Reverb10 // Kathryn Fitzmaurice prompts // Describe a defining moment or series of events that has affected your life this year.

It was mid-day. Autumn. I was sitting on the couch in the loft. Still in my pajamas. Un-showered, un-brushed, un-fed, un-everything. And I read the phrase, “You need to accept that you are grieving.”
What?
There was a physical reaction in my knotted back as I re-read it.
And the Burden lifted just a bit.
There was a reason for all that I’d been feeling.
There was a reason for my inability to “pull it together.”
I wasn’t crazy. I wasn’t losing it. I wasn’t doomed. It wasn’t hopeless. It wasn’t my fault.
It wasn’t my fault.
But more importantly, I could begin moving past it.
And in that moment, the grief began to let go.

I feel you. Grief is rough and so slow! Best to you as you continue to grieve.
Sometimes we need reminders to let us know we are exactly where we need to be & permission to just be. This was beautiful, thank you
Sometimes, the answers are simple.
You say much in few words, and do it well.
