2011 - This is the year to move
by Donna Mann on 07/29/14
Interesting how we often think that grief is associated only with death. Or perhaps I should rephrase the previous sentence to read that it is only when someone we love dies that we grieve.
In committing to blog again, I want to encourage readers to think about the many events, actions or attitudes that initiate the grieving process. I'll begin by suggesting that moving can be a giant motivating factor to grieve.
In 2010, I'm thinking about planting a new flower garden in the spring, and my husband surprises me with his words, "Let's move." For several days, I could not imagine how to do this. Even though we agreed that we would live in the country for a decade and then move to town, being past that time didn't make it easier to agree. If anything, I had begun to think we would stay here. . .
