Each day things change.  

My biggest problem recently was the anxiety.  Today not so much, today it was deep longing for my wife and terrible loneliness.  That was combined with my sister coming over to help go through my wife's things and I was a mess.  Not much I could do to prevent getting upset, just too many triggers.  My sister did her best to get me out of my funk but it did little good, I think it was something I just had to get through.  Now I'm not too bad, maybe evening calmness returning.

I saw my therapist today, I did most of the talking, that's ok, I need a good listener a lot of the time. Then had lunch with my son and went for a walk.  Walking usually helps the most but not today.  

I am watching the Pittsburgh Penguins vs NY Rangers hockey playoff game as I have been typing this, a very exciting game.   It has been helping take my mind off things, probably the most effective thing today.  My wife was not much of a sports fan, so no triggers watching this.

That was my day, no profound insights, just getting through another day.

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
