Wornoutwoman

After a rough couple of weeks (you'll know why if you've read my post from last week ) I've needed a shot in the arm with something good. Even today I had to rush to the hospital to see a client/friend, who'd been in a serious car accident.  An accident she was blessed to survive. In so many ways I feel overwhelmed emotionally.

And I feel guilty for being trapped in this fog of sorrow, as I'm not the one who lost my life long partner of over twenty years. I'm not the one who just got my husband back from Afghanistan, only to lose him to unexpected death. I can not fathom how my friend is coping, walking step by step through the process of burying her soul mate at the tender young age of thirty-nine.
