Diabetic Cyborg Life 11/21: Regular Life
Dealing with the whirling hellscape that is grieving is a challenge like no other thing I’ve faced. Trying to explain how Americans have no set way of dealing with grief is an added struggle as I talk to my wife. Letting the family grieve and processing all that comes is hampered by life in many unseen ways.
My dealing with death was never my strong suit. Though I grew up with losing my father and beloved granny, I still have no good grief and losing people. Simply living is a struggle that we face as family and individuals.
I realize that I am talking her death to death, no pun meant, but it is just my processing it. I need to practice what I preach more than ever now. My hold on life was just turned upside-down and I am not dealing with it well.
Yet, my being upset about it is okay. Moving on with life is recognizing my issues is part of healing. We need her spirit and ways more than ever.
Losing her husband two months after my birth was not easy, but she fought on. Knowing that should be an example for us to follow.
