REFLECTING

                It's been so very long since I have felt  like sharing on the blog. I forget how painful it is to start a new post.  I question if I want to dive into stories, thoughts, feelings. I start with a numbness, and then my fingers reach the keys and I start to type. I don't know why I try to block the feelings, because it's inevitable that they will push the gates wide open and the flood of emotions takes over. 

                As I sit here and contemplate what I want to get out today I think to myself why do this to yourself? Why do you want to get upset and end up feeling so full of loneliness for you Trev and the agony of so many things that have come with losing you. It brings a enormous sadness, one that is so completely painful I never thought there could be a level such as this. 

              It's been so long Trevor, yet it seems like just yesterday that I heard the dreaded words that destroyed who I used to be forever.  1948 Days you have been gone. It doesn't seem like a huge number by just looking at it, but IT IS!  It is 5 Years 3 Months and 29 Days. I never thought I would have to live my life without you in and knowing it's forever gives me the sickest feeling and the deepest of sorrows.

              I never thought Pain could bring me to think , say, do so many things that a person should never think about. Knowing that those things can destroy a persons very existence, and can bring loss and devastation and change lives to those who love me, yet I attempted. Not so long ago I took a scissors to my wrist.  The whole time thinking I don't want to bring pain to those who love me, but I also don't want to feel this pain anymore. In those same thoughts also thinking all my mental health issues would disappear with one simple act

A pain so vast

 

Days that the heaviness of your heart feels like it will burst out of your soles, your lungs feel like they are collapsing with every exhale. The pressure in your head makes your whole head and face hurt. Your mind is foggier than a cloudy/dreary day. There is no creativity. The sadness is unforgiving and you just want to crawl under whatever you can and disappear from the world that your life has become. The guilt makes your stomach so sick you aren't sure if you should throw up or eat your way thru the day to try and put that nauseous feeling at bay. On top of the rest of my mental health it all feels so useless. You work and fight so extremely hard ,so extremely hard for the better days and the bad days just completely defeat you.

Just a mom who misses one of her children so hard that getting hit by a truck would be
painless.
Missing you Trev my grief so very vast and my love indescribable
