Re: Kabu
As ya all know, I write a 'grief column' two or three times a week. As a nurse, you know all too well about the stages of grief. Everyone handles grief differently, so while you might hear the same thing said using slightly different words, I try to work every angle I can think to touch. When I lost Judy, I went numb and almost robotic, but no one reached out to help me. Since then, I've made it a mission to help people.
On my little used FB page this morning, I posted something about finishing "In The Marsh," and then, I added this. A post like this two or three times a week will get me five to eight calls a week.
*************
One last thing if you've read this far.
This morning, I reached out to five of my friends who have been quieter than normal. If I don't see you posting in your normal rhythms, I am going to send you a note asking how you are doing.
The world has gone insane and people are in major money problems, fighting to stay emotionally afloat, and just plain depressed.
I'm here to listen.
Drop me a note here or send me an email. I'll listen and not judge.
You can't tell me much I haven't experienced or witnessed.
Why do I do this? I have this thing where I owe God for things I've been spared or given the strength to cope with over the years.
Listening is how I pay it back.
24/7/365.
Here am I.
Respectfully,
Verwayne

It was weird. When I had to walk away from my first marriage I organized my boys who were in their teens back then; and left on a four month world trip alone. I truly had no fear except for once near the end of my trip. I still don't have fear. Did the ability to feel fear die within me? And when Wiley died it wasn't until the year was just over and I had faced his death again that I cried.
