When we move into allowance of this, our lives unfold with ease. It is the resistance to change that causes us much pain and suffering.<br /><br />That is incredible that your Grandma is experiencing new things! I can't imagine what it would be like to face life on your own after 40 years of sharing it with someone. She sounds like a very strong woman. <br /><br />I would love to hear your story, Katherine. Feel free to email me anytime, love. <br />earthfoodexperiment@hotmail.comChandra Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520636926397001788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965408829692057833.post-39030528012009457402012-04-15T23:51:30.797-05:002012-04-15T23:51:30.797-05:00I found this post so powerful. You are completely ...I found this post so powerful. You are completely right about time and about the misconceptions we choose to believe in. I also went back and read the story you linked and it is freakishly close to my own story. <br /><br />My grandfather recently passed away and it is both heartbreaking and liberating watching my grandma deal with being on her own after 40 years of being with him. It is both hard for her (obviously) but she is doing things she never would have done while he was here. <br /><br />I think this is kind of exactly what you are saying. Life and change is hard and painful but it is how we survive the change that really matters and makes it worth while. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.

I don't believe that there is a truly universal 'normal'- most people reject being put into one of those little boxes(who knows who came up with them...). Love, ahh... I remember a time when I was "in love with Love" as well, it was nice to escape from the illusion. Love is realizing that you are strong enough, capable enough to do what you need to in life on your own- but you don't want to because it doesn't always mean as much without your Loved one(s). It's being interdependent AND independent at the same time- weird, but cool. Facing the fear of pain and loss- because they are the difference between truly living and merely 'surviving'. Your words are beautiful and inspiring; while you hope to assist and enlighten at least a few of us, remember that we are here to assist right back, if only you will allow us. :)Sarah T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965408829692057833.post-9380043059096033302012-04-12T10:51:16.461-05:002012-04-12T10:51:16.461-05:00There will be much more for sure!

I must admit I "car read" this one while commuting to Omaha after I started my morning off backing the brand spanking new company car into my nanny's car in my own driveway. Busted the sideview mirror clean off. I wanted to cry, but I didn't ...just drove my butt back to the office & turned myself in. I wish I could say this was an unlikely accident, but 4 months ago I caused $3,000 worth of damage to my friend's car, again parked in my own driveway, after I side-swiped it backing out of the garage. Ugh. The point of this now long-winded story is that reading your blog just now inspired me to take my mood into my own hands & still try to make the best of the day that's just begun. A few months back I was in your same spot. While I still slightly resent the fact I was there in the first place, I thank my own heart-breaker for forcing me to see the light in my life & the results henceforth have been great :) Thanks for sharing your words with us. You are a gem! -MMichaela Marienoreply@blogger.com
