Losing Things

            Remember a time when you thought you had lost something. How much energy you spent looking depended upon how important the item was as well as how soon you needed it. If you were packing for a trip and couldn’t find the documents for your presentation, you probably put a considerable amount of time into locating them. If, however, you had misplaced your comb, you most likely…

Acute verse Chronic: Healing from Trauma

How do we overcome trauma and overcome our pain?

It’s a big issue when you lose a hand at work. It’s actually pretty life changing. I mean you did have this appendage your entire life. You used it to eat, to bathe, to do pretty much everything. Now that it’s gone where do you go from here?

Tonight, I went over to my parents’ house for a belated birthday dinner. The meal was delicious but the night overall had a tone of deep sorrow. My dad essentially told me that this was the time to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for the reality of my cat, Mia, no longer being here. I was to put aside everything, stop thinking of myself, and just be there for Mia and celebrate her life.

At the age of 19, she’s been deteriorating rapidly as of lately. It’s so strange to see her so fragile. I’ve tried to keep in mind that this won’t be a permanent goodbye but she’s been in my life for 19 of these 27 years I’ve been alive. That’s a pretty significant amount of time.

So I had my dad inflate an air mattress in my old bedroom so I could cuddle up in bed with Mia one last time like I had done for so many nights over so many years.

My heart is breaking.
