episode 34: The Brochure on Continuing Grief, Healing Gardens, and Keeping Busy
As I reach the four week mark after the loss of Dallas, I find myself in denial. Denial over his passing. And denial that the grief doesn't exist I guess. It's been hard to process continually and yet I know somehow I must process it, as painful as it is.
I open up about the time in 2007 when Dallas fell ill, sharing the story of our struggle and my profound gratitude that arose from those challenging days. I learned about then, or was it before with one of my dogs, to cherish every moment and soak up my time with him. I watched so many of our friends at the barn lose their horses over the years and knew it could happen quickly and without warning.
I'll share with you the distraction and the literal grounding my garden has afforded me. I learned about a woman who started a company called Meet Me in the Dirt to fill her own holes from grief. What a great name, right? And I'll talk briefly about my new job and how that's helping to keep me busy as well.
Life goes on whether we want it to or not. Join me as I navigate through grief. Loss is something we all experience.
