Don't give up now
But really, do I have a choice?
I guess it was his birthday, a trigger day that started me on the roller coaster again. Just when I was starting to feel better.
I'm so tired of feeling better only to slip back into this funky phase of grief. The good thing is I have writing about it to help me get through the awful moments.
If it seems like I am ready to give up going on with my life and having a normal life again, the answer is hell no, I will never give up. I got through losing JR and I will get through losing The Captain. He taught me that life does go on . . . he made it possible for me to do so. It isn't easy, but life isn't easy.

Love With No Place To Go
All that talk about positivity has gone out the window. I find myself overthinking everything. My happy, carefree attitude of taking one moment at a time has disappeared. It is what grief is all about. One must be ready for it to get through it quickly. I'm trying!
The trick is to figure out how to pull yourself back to a comfortable place that is sometimes so difficult to find.
Love with no place to go is rough and heartbreaking.

Grief Angel
This past week has been all over the place.
As much as I try to stay positive, there are times that I just lose control. It is simple, I miss him terribly. This must be the "miss you" phase.
My family to coming to town just in time. I have been missing them too and it complicates the feelings of grief.
It is just one of those phases that will pass quickly, I hope.

Remembering Good Times
In this phase of grief, the recollection of awesome times are helping me honor The Captain's place in my life. There are moments in time and then there are events that brought us so much fun and happiness. I will write about them and relive them all over again with a smile on my face. We had many good times!
We loved Busch Gardens and visited often since we had annual passes. They provided fabulous entertainment and among our favorites was Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits.
Peter was still doing the concert circuit after all these years. The Captain and I had the pleasure of attending one of his concerts and had a blast singing along to all those hits whose lyrics were still fresh in our minds. We weren't the only ones. Baby boomers surrounded us and we were all singing.
His voice is awesome as ever, with the same witty personality as Herman the teenage boy with the sweet face we knew back in the day. It was an excellent concert we never forgot . . . what a treat, we spoke of it often. Peter is a timeless entertainer who is very entertaining!
