Bad Times
The world has a funny way of doing things sometimes.
For this week’s theme, I decided to go with loss and remembrance due to a friend of mine having a miscarriage. That was yesterday. Today I received a letter containing the news that my nephew has to have surgery (he’s about a year old) due to complications from being a premature baby and my mother has an inoperable brain tumour.
Granted this news doesn’t fit in with ‘loss and remembrance’, but if I thought I was feeling crappy yesterday I was only getting a taste of it.
To be honest, I didn’t want to post here or on any of my other blogs, but life must go on and there is nothing I can do about the other situations. I can’t even afford to fly to the States.
So life goes. The world keeps spinning and I must continue on with work.
Today I would like you to choose to do one of a few options. Or more than one should the mood strike.
Write your tale of remembrance. What or who did you lose? What do you remember about that person/thing and how do you remember it/him/her?
Write about your time of loss. Who or what did you lose? What did you do to cope? Do you still do things today to cope?
Combine the two and write about your full experience – the losing, the loss, and the remembrance.
We’ve all been through tough times and losses. Tap into that and write your heart out.
