Dealing with Grief & other Self Realizations
Be There For Yourself!

Ultimately it's all you have. I am glad I have my "Adult" self (as well as my
Higher Self for sure!) to reach out to to child in me...
to care for her but to BE THE ONE IN CHARGE of my life... I am stronger now than
I have ever been, as I face the FACT that
Love does NOT conquer all, period. My heart has been breaking in pieces a
little at a time...
I have been "beating a dead horse"... but
now the horse is buried.
Sometimes things have to happen in stages to give us a chance to grow strong
enough to face the worst. The worst has happened...
The best love I ever had has slowly died and is now gone. I am angry and I
could not really finish this piece of art
that I have been working on for a couple of weeks... the meaning kept
changing... I might have added some lighting effects but
I am too exhausted from grief.
Will I ever love again? Care to place a wager? You will lose. I will not risk
such hurt ever again...
for one thing my health, at my age, can't tolerate such stress and for another I
am worth protecting.
I had SUCH love to give, I do have such a kind heart...and it was not enough.
As I now say in my Second Life profile: Friends are cherished. Lovers need not
apply.
