Soldiering On

Coping with bereavement
1

I am 8 years on from parental loss.

I was really depressed today but I had to attend a party. So, I went. I had a great time. I hated having to go alone but it was a work party. A beautiful event, free wine, food, met new people, saw old friends. I was so depressed today but I had to scratch it off my calendar. My one good habit is I always compete my tasks, always. So all my friends whom I invited did not come. Their loss. But I did it.

And so can you :slight_smile: Often in life we must force ourselves. So glad I went.

p.s. just want to add: I wish my parents could see how nice of a person I turned out to be and how well-behaved and even better behaved than my peers. it doesn’t seem possible, but we can improve as we age.
