Lost in Time

I don't know how I'm doing lately. I feel weird. I have felt different the past week or two and I don't know why. I can't say that I feel good, but I do feel that this roller coaster ride is about to dip. Soon. I haven't shed many tears lately. That is odd. I feel like they are close, but they are not falling right now. I don't feel any peace. I don't feel normal. As usual, I feel like the facade I am displaying is very believable. But it's completely fake. I don't know if I feel numb. I don't think about Chase any less. I think of him all day long, when I fall asleep at night, when I wake up in the morning and a thousand times in between. I still miss him...but some days it feels so unreal. Like, did it really happen? It feels like yesterday, but yet so long ago. It's so hard to explain.

I don't know why I feel this way. It is unsettling. I doubt so many things about myself....am I good mother? A good wife? A good homemaker? A good ANYthing? I can take compliments, but I don't believe them. Not at all. I have no confidence in me right now, or who I am. I don't even know that person. Sometimes it feels like the old me almost, but I know that person died with Chase, so it can't be. I'm confused. I'm lost..... Hoping the dip in this ride comes and goes quickly....just waiting.

  2. The dips in grief can be so hard. I cry a lot and sometimes I just get teary eyed. I say that the tears are just waiting to spill over. I too have so much doubt. Thinking about you during this time. xx

  4. It is so hard Christy, but I think part of it may be just trying to learn to live with part of missing. It is just so hard. xx

  5. I feel in a similar place. I describe it as a "doubting" phase. I wonder if I will ever be good at anything again, and feel like I have failed in every way. The only thing I have gotten good at is just "going with the flow" and wondering what will happen next...
