I have been there with overwhelming grief for a short period in my life--it's such an individual path. Just writing about it and opening up to the facts of it are a sort of forward progress.audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-53574406256235599312016-03-05T15:13:44.210-05:002016-03-05T15:13:44.210-05:00Well, all I can say is that pot holder antidotes a...Well, all I can say is that pot holder antidotes are excellent therapy for all of the "stuff" that interferes with peace and serenity. Wishing a big dose of both on the morrow and hugs in the meantime!Karaquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01655248575732793068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-66134736049980165892016-03-05T11:06:10.581-05:002016-03-05T11:06:10.581-05:00A wedding creates so much stress.

Possibly try saying your comments to her silently first and maybe you won't need to say them out loud. Deep breaths and this too shall pass.<br />It is so hard not to look ahead and worry about what is to come. Living in the moment can help to relieve stress. Hugs to you:)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660017751582754555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-91608849792341753052016-03-05T09:16:20.850-05:002016-03-05T09:16:20.850-05:00Smazoozie said it!

Listen to your heart and feel love for this darling daughter who has been there for you, for him, and is trying to go forward with love while dealing with stressors that overwhelm you both. I am a repeater. I repeat when I have not yet gotten all of that 'ick' out yet. But no one wants to hear it and there are better ways to get it out because it just keeps us in our rut. Jump the rut one jump at a time. You are doing it and can keep on keeping on, one rut jump at a time!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-69659986935336190952016-03-05T08:08:34.018-05:002016-03-05T08:08:34.018-05:00With all the stress in your live right now, I thin...With all the stress in your live right now, I think a potholder sewing session is definitely in order.

Anyway, I know I did not.<br />And getting married is a whole 'nother ball of stress -- so much the bride feels *must* be done & so little time.<br />There will be meltdowns. Just make sure both of you know how much you love each other.<br />I wish I could give you a change of scene, it would do you a world of good. Mine was mostly work & illness, but New & Different are very valuable. Try taking mini-vacations, a park, a museum, a movie.<br />Always sending hugs.smazoochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716977786728589960noreply@blogger.com
