I just had a close friend lose a serious boyfriend. She is pretty broken up about it. Thinking about her grief brought me back to my own. I lost one of my sisters a couple of years ago and it will always be tragic to me.
I was just contemplating life and death and how they are both so surreal. It is weird how when you experience the birth of your child you feel everything so intensely. Their smell, your love, the warmth of their skin against yours, it's all so amazing; But when you lose someone you love everything becomes so numb. It's hard to feel anything except for your grief . Food doesn't even taste good anymore. You kind of just force yourself to go through the motions of life for awhile and slowly things start to normalize.
It is all so remarkable- life, death, and everything in between. I just hope that I will always be grateful to be part of the triumphs and tragedies that we experience in this life.

Josie you have to keep this up, you write really well, way better than me! Anyway it took me awhile to get into it, but you know you can make this into a book right? You'll be so happy you did. Keep it coming!
hey Josie, I am glad you started a blog. I have never lost someone close to me besides my Grandma, but there was a lot of time to prepare for it. I can't imagine losing a loved one suddenly.
