I've deactivated my FB page for a ...Hi, Julie!<br /><br />I've deactivated my FB page for a while. Just want to log off for a while 'coz I have had a love-and-hate relationship with it for a long time and this time it's been piling up too much. If I simply log off without deactivating it, I'll still get many messages and I'm afraid people will still send me important messages through there without realizing that I want a holiday from it, so I want to avoid that. But I'll be back again. :-)<br /><br />I don't think there's a specific timeline/deadline for grief, 'coz that's one of the things I've read when I first realized I was an IF. I read a very good article somewhere that grief isn't a linear process with a clear start and ending. It may go in circles (loss, anger, denial, self-defense mechanism, etc. until finally acceptance again), BUT I think the circles get better as time goes by (not as acute anymore). I also think our second year (after IF) was much better than our first. And now we're on our third year already and it gets better still. :-)<br /><br />And I think it's better accepting that grief isn't linear, 'coz we're only humans. :-) Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389217180689999852.post-68595465354719543622013-02-17T04:24:04.939+02:002013-02-17T04:24:04.939+02:00I'm glad to hear that your friends's medic...I'm glad to hear that your friends's medical outcomes are great! <br /><br />With being consumed by loss, as Tracey said, hardest thing one could ever done- I have always wondered since last year, is there a specific timeline (thinking hope that's the right word) or deadline on how long would one need to grieve, before moving on? That's what I'm dealin' with currently, although I like to think that I'm doing better compared to last year(first year, really.) Good using the zombie analog- I hadn't thought about that but very apt! :)<br /><br />BTW, your FB page disappeared- wanted to give you an head up.

I KNOW that feeling. It is not easy to cut off what wants life so very much. It is likely the hardest thing I have ever done. I admire your strength. <br />I am new to your blog so I don't know what health concerns you were facing. However, I am so happy to hear that they are no longer concerns. :-)<br />xo<br />Tracey( aka La belette rouge)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773462488318011433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389217180689999852.post-7106822804228054092013-02-12T12:11:37.180+02:002013-02-12T12:11:37.180+02:00Glad you liked it. :-) I felt a bit over-the-top w...Glad you liked it. :-) I felt a bit over-the-top when writing it, but it was what I felt.
