I have had a busy couple of days and have a quiet day today. i can see why people keep busy. it keeps them away from feelings of pain and sadness. I am going to clean the house. I feel very empty inside -just empty. Friends told me last night how strong i am, but i certainly do not feel that way. I feel like i am empty and waiting for something but i can't figure out what it is i am waiting for.

I understand the concept of keeping busy, but still that pain is just right under the surface. As far as being strong, what choice do we have? I do understand your emptiness, for me there just is no point in anything! Hugs to you.

Totally makes sense to me! Busyness is good, but also allow time for grief, otherwise it will prolong the process. Try to find a good balance. Yeah, right? Easier said than done. Feeling empty? Yup. All normal. Hang in there girlfriend. I\'m hanging with you. xo, D
