Welcoming In The New Year, And Taking A Short Break

Hi Friends: without going into a long, drawn-out explanation right here (you can see the post I wrote last night on my personal blog for more details,) I am feeling a need to take a break from my dear wife's Memorial Project...

This isn't something that comes easy to me, but the reality is that the depth of my despair over the loss of My One True Love is currently so powerful that I can not bear to torture myself with the wonderful memories I have of our past.

While some day (possibly even soon,) I hope to reach a personal space where my wife's legacy leaves me feelings of nothing but Love & Grace, right now, my emotions are so raw that the process is tearing me apart.

This past Sunday, in my darkest hour I reached out for some guidance, and amazingly it was there (see this post for more.) So, beginning next week I will be attending a 14-week Workshop aimed at Completing Grief–––as I understand it, it's basically a goal-oriented step-by-step approach to processing the full extent of your pain and loss during bereavement.

Thank God for small miracles... I need someone to hold my hand through this one, and the incredible woman I would normally turn to in such a grave situation is the very one who is physically missing form my life.

Lori left me an amazing Legacy of Love, and I plan on fully living up to that legacy by learning to both honor her incredible and irreplaceable presence in my life, and simultaneously striving to move beyond the pain of loss and back out into the light of her love.

Wishing You All A Happy New year,
God Bless,
Cary
