how did i get here?

my husband, my Dragon, died suddenly at 12:03 AM, 9 February 2009. it was a full moon. i "slept" for the following 10 months and "woke" to the physical pain and emotional torments of deep grief. i "woke" to discover i had moved immediately after his funeral and that my art had evolved. it has changed
changed because of his death as i am forever changed as well and will forever bear the mark of his passing.
i am no longer near my beloved ocean
.
there is alive and there is dead and there is a place in between. i am here wholly in my heart for my children. i feel empty inside at this time because i miss him so very much. no other man will do. i am crawling through my grief so i haven't gotten very far. i make no apologies for this.
this place, this blog, is where i write to allow some light into my "dark night of the soul."

trying to be what she's not.

Bunny has been down, again, still, whatever. it is the same tune, different day.

so whatever. she is sad and is not getting really any better. she has hit a plateau in her grief. is there another place she should be at, or on? she cannot see it from where she is. just one day after another. that's all she does. she has no real future.

shit. bad vibes again. stop it, Bunny. keep those negative thoughts for your personal journal.

brighter posts. faux good times.

they let us wear Halloween costumes at work for that weekend. Bunny has been working on hers. she wants to be a forest fairy. here are the wings she made. she has been working on them off and on since July.

so here she is.
and the back.
Bunny loves her wings.

she wishes she could "fly me away with you, my love."

Bunny smiles to herself when she thinks about what Dragon would say about her silly, glittery forest fairy wings.

*sigh*

What beautiful wings! Susan, I think everyone hits plateaus during their healing. Just hang on the best you can and hopefully one day you will realize you are back to healing again. Much love to you. xoxo

My Fairy wish for you today is peace, even if just for one day or one hour, just a respite of peace.
