Well, I just finished going through all the papers in prep. for the interview tomorrow and the SS hearing on Thursday. That was HARD! There are photos, tox. reports, police reports, medical records, etc. Maybe, before long, I will be able to sort through the box of "stuff" and put it away. It has been sitting in the computer room since Scott died. I have had to keep going back to it for various reasons. I hate that box! We have had rain and thunderstorms all day. It is depressing. Tomorrow night they are calling for sleet and snow flurries. Everyday brings a different challenge to us with the weather. I will be glad for sunshine and heat! I actually read part of a book last night and tonight for entertainment. I am not reading as fast as I used to (I get distracted) but I was amazed I could actually read something other than grief and PTSD books. I used to read all the time. To everyone reading I hope you are finding some peace somewhere, somehow......

Ginger,
I have trouble focusing when I read , i am very easily distracted and then have to read it over again. I know how hard it is to go through the \" box\", I have not been able to do it yet.
The weather is a bit unpredictable just like life. I am looking forward to 70\'s and sunny. hugs, Inga
I read lots of books when Melissa passed but now I am finding it hard to focus on this book. Maybe it\'s the books we are choosing that don\'t really interest us anymore. Who knows. I have to go to the book store and find something that would interest me. I like reading so did Melissa. Take Care, Love and Hugs.
Hi, I\'m easily distracted also - not in tune with everything - and it\'s an uncomfortable feeling - I agree with you - I don\'t like the person I am right now, but I have to regard myself - and push everyday. Sorry to hear about all your nasty weather - but happy to hear, you\'ve picked up an old hobby - I used to read all the time, until I got my computer - now I rarely even buy a book much less read one. Good for you,
I hope you enjoy the book - and good luck honey - you\'re treading into territory you\'ve never had to encounter before, my prayers are with you. God bless & keep you today.
Wouldn\'t it be nice if we could just leave everything in a box? Or that we could put away all this grief in the box...just so we could have a break from sorrow. I know you will feel better after this hearing is over. Good luck and hang in there...Karen
I\'ve read every grief book out there but I haven\'t got back to reading real books as of yet. I too wish we could close the box and chuck it away. The paper chase never seems to end. Praying for strength and peace foe you. Love and hugs Cathy
Im having a hard time reading anything but grief and life after death, I just finished Hello from heaven, It was very good. I cant read or watch anything happy , seeing people happy makes me mad, I look in the paper and tv to see if anyone was murdered, Is this normal. Love Kelly
