I haven’t shared a word of the week in a while, I was (and still am) quite deep in my grief again and life got busy. But a couple of long walks and I am not all rainbows and sunshine but I do feel better able to cope with it all, for now.
While I have been feeling overwhelmed with the loss of Cameron, life doesn’t stop and a lot of positive things have happened.
Emma got her South African colours for karate.
We are going to Mauritius in September for her to take part in a karate competition.
We got our home loan approved which means we can do our renovations.
Jack competed in his first rock climbing competition and did so well.
I managed two 10km walks in one week. I usually only walk 5km at a time but I need to catch up on some kms to finish my I Love Boobies challenge and the easiest way was to walk further.
I listened to the most delightful book while walking – it was also by Alexandra Potter called So I Met This Guy. It made my walks fly by.
I hope you have a POSITIVE week!
I am joining up with the Word of the Week link party Check it out and join the part too!
I’m sorry to hear that you have and are still having a difficult time. I can’t imagine how hard life without Cameron is for you all. Sending you a gentle virtual hug.
Well done to Emma & Jack on their achievements, how exciting about the trip to Mauritius.
Aren’t audiobooks marvellous? I fly through the cleaning and pottering while I’m listening to one. Well done on all that walking!
Sending love and hugs. So sorry you are deep in grief. I am glad you are feeling a little better, I have always found getting outside boosts my mood a little. I am glad lots of positive things have happened. Well done to Emma with the karate and good luck with the renovations.
Nice to see you back Laura but sorry to hear you’ve been having a difficult grief filled time. Sometimes it just hits you doesn’t it. I’m glad you have found ways to cope and I hope things are improving now.
Walking and running has been my saviour Laura. It has given me the space the grieve in the way I’ve needed to. I’m fortunate that I can just open the door and go for a walk without hesitation, harder for you where you live as it has to be planned..
Well done to Emma with her Karate, what a fantastic trip to look forward to.
Home renovations sound exciting until they actually start. #wotw
Grief can be so overwhelming at times and those times when you’re deep in grief are hard. I’m glad you’re in a place where you feel better able to cope with it all, for now at least, and that there have been positives to focus on during this time. Well done to Emma on getting her South African colours for karate and how lovely to have a trip to Mauritius to look forward to for the karate competition. That’s good news about your home loan and well done to Jack on his first rock climbing competitions. #WotW
