This is mostly my fault because I didn't have the heart to talk about it. Most of my family also found out another thing as well (not related but definitely big and personal) and I just realized that. In a time of hurt and pain, I shut out so many people who do love me. I shut out that support system. I urge everyone to NOT do that. My sister just found out about Ginger tonight and she was heart broken. It made me realize that it was kind of selfish of me to not think of all of the people in my life who adored Ginger! Oh how I miss her! Yes, my husband has been wonderful through this; however, I should have not shut out so many people for so long. But I know that she will indeed greet me one day again with lots of sweet kisses.
Thank you all for your kind words. I am so glad that we have a place to share our laughter, our joys, too many pictures, silly stories, and sorrows as well. And for those who are wondering, yes....we are adding another to our family so you will be meeting her soon.  |
Robin, I was thinking about this post today. Again, I am so very sorry about Ginger. You took such great care of her and she had a happy life.
I was also thinking about what you said about shutting people out. I guess we all mourn in our own way and I can relate to what you said. When I am mourning or upset about something, it takes me a long time to talk to my husband or a good friend about my hurt. Guess it just takes me awhile to process and let the walls come down. It is so hard to be human sometimes. Bless you my friend and hope the healing process continues in a positive way, if this process can ever be considered positive. Hugs to you too.
