I think you've hit the nail on the head, most people really don't understand how grief works, they expect you to get over something or be normal and you know that isn't normal or healthy. I feel like this often, why don't people get it or understand what I deal Calico Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03640365330149203615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4474246161732006672.post-53818809836277074822011-01-29T09:49:32.825-08:002011-01-29T09:49:32.825-08:00Sarah, I am shocked that woman slapped you!

I cannot forget the fellow teacher who actually slapped me across the face and told me, after the first year of grieving Paul, that I'd need to be over it and that she was tired of how long it was taking me to not be grieving.

I am praying that prayer for a new start with you! You remind me of another woman whose blog I read...this mother just lost her 1 1/2 year old in a tragic accident (don't read it if you don't want to cry!!), but her faith is getting her through.
