Merry Christmas & An Update
3 years ago
Yay! New journal is posted for all!
I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
Also, I did see a counselor last Tuesday and he turned out to be a pastor from Hospice.
Honestly though, I think it was for the better because he was able to explain where my sense of guilt was coming from and helped me understand that it was okay to not be 'okay'.
He also told me that it was normal for what my family is feeling and that I just need to be patient with myself in healing.
Among these things, he said that it was okay that I don't feel pleasure or enjoy the things I used to while I am grieving and that it was okay to feel good...it was just going to take more of that feeling to overpower my sorrow for a while.
Lastly, he said that if I still felt the way I was...when grief comes over me...when it's been 6 months past losing my sissy, then it is time to seek professional help.
So, until that point in time...I'm just going to hug and cuddle the plush unicorn from my sister, hug my mom and talk to my family, and friends, if I need to.
