Life lessons at the 2 year mark
I used to think I was one of the untouchables. If I just do things mainly by the book and follow the plans my parents had set out for me then I would lead a simple yet happy life. If there’s anything I’ve learned these last few years, it’s that no one is untouchable. The most horrific thing just might touch your life. Before allowing that trauma and grief to swallow you whole, it is so very important to reach out to those around you, and ask for the support that you need and deserve. I was given the challenge of writing what I’ve learned as a bereaved mother these last two gut wrenching years. It’s hard to know where to even begin, as that is such a loaded task. Not only have I lost my sweet Bridget, but both of my parents as well. Literally the worst 2 years of my life. A comment that is made quite frequently in circumstances where a person is grieving is that they are so “strong”. I know I’ve even used this term in the past. It’s meant to build the person up as you admire...
