Some days it's easier than others to have a good attitude but I really try my hardest.....if not for myself for the others who have to live with me.

Four years after my DH died both my parents passed away with three months of each other. Then, three years after that my sister died. Each loss was different. But they all hurt.

After my DH passed I wasn't sure if I'd ever get back to where I was before. And that was an unrealistic expectation. I never would because I was not the same person. Actually, I was stronger. Took me a while to realize it, but I eventually did.

I decided that even if I didn't feel like putting my best foot forward I was going to anyway. I figured eventually I'd get so used to it that it would become a habit. And once it became a habit it would "grow" on me. Well, for the most part it worked. I still have days where I just want to bury myself in the blankets and never come out. I think we all do whether or not we've suffered a loss or not.

One day at a time......looking too far down the road makes me anxious and unable to concentrate on being the best "me" I can be today!
