The unfortunate fact about the last 20 is: 

On February 7, 2019, I lost my father. 2 months and 2 days later on April 9, 2019 I lost my husband, best friend and soulmate, Jeremy. My nephew Keith was murdered in December of 2019. In March of 2020, I lost my dad's sister, Beth. On April 13, 2020 my friend and ex fianceè, Wayne passed away. Wanna talk about trauma to the fullest extent? I was under the impression that death comes in threes. Yeah right. 

My father was 67 years old, had a bad heart, and basically froze to death under a bridge. My husband passed away in a single vehicle roll over accident caused by distracted driving (a text could not wait). My nephew's death was senseless, and they're still looking for the perpetrator. My aunt, I believe, passed away from a broken heart after daddy died. Wayne was my oldest daughter's father. He was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and 10 days later was gone. 

I gotta tell ya, I didn't think I would make it emotionally. My daughter, Autumn has lost her Grandpa, the man she called dad, and her father in a short period of time, and I was worried about her for a while. However, she has put herself in a management position at Little Caesars Pizza, and is doing well. My other 2 children are both adults, and they have chosen to bury themselves in work, as well. 

There are so many things that happened to me after I lost Jeremy that it's disgusting. That will be featured on my next blog.

Good night.

Thank you Penny for sharing.  You have had a lot of loss in such a short period of time. My heart goes out to you.  You mentioned your children have buried themselves in work.  I did that as well. The grief caught up to me.  I have since realized you need other outlets besides work. Sharing with others has helped me by leaps and bounds.  Continue to share Penny and I will continue to listen.  Thanks.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
