She's Gone!!!

You know, after my mom left this world...I unplugged from life.  Completely.  Nothing felt good anymore--not the things that used to make me smile, not the things that used to give me peace.  I didn't know how to be a mom anymore, how to be a wife, or even a good friend.  Everything felt off key...off balance...like my life had lost its rhythm and I couldn't find my way back to the melody.

I went through the motions, but my heart wasn't in it.  It was like the light had gone out inside me, and I didn't know how to turn it back on.

Have you ever been there? Where life just doesn't make sense anymore? Where the things you used to love don't feel the same? If you have..how did you get over it? Or maybe you're still in it--and if so, what keeps you going day by day?

Because I'll be honest with you...grief doesn't come with instructions and sometimes it's hard to know where to even begin.
