When did you discover the IWSG, how do you connect, and how has it helped you? What does the rest of 2023 look like for me? I'm not sure, but I see the sun peeking out from behind the grief clouds.
I'm glad things are starting to seem more normal. Sleeping through September sounds like a good idea. Wait, aren't you a Green Day fan? I have a certain song stuck in my head now...
After the year (and more) you've had, I can definitely see you both in need of an emotional recharge. Glad that MIParaCon went well & hope things work out at the farmers' market!
Glad you found this group early on. I'm glad you're thinking of taking the month of September to rest and recharge. After the loss of your father-in-law, you need some time to heal.
Coping with grief is always hard, and you've had so many other things to cope with too. The fact that you're planning expeditions show that part of you is recovering, and that's enough for now. I had a long think over whether I should book u more book fairs for next year, and decided yes, it's good for me!
*hugs* I'm sorry you're still struggling, but it's the mark of having lived and loved someone for who they are. There will always be a gap where your father-in-law was, and that's okay. I'm glad some sense of normal is returning though. Enjoy all the little moments.
Insecure Writer's Support Group: The Waves of Grief Are Shrinking
Condolences on the passing of your father-in-law. Losing a loved one is always hard.
This group has been a source of support to so many people for a variety or reasons.
It sucks that he passed, but I'm glad you're finding a point of normalcy in your life again. You deserve it. I hope things continue to improve.
You've definitely had a rough year. Sleeping for the month of September sounds like a good plan for you and hubby!

The first Christmas without my mother was difficult, so I understand.
I know you've been with us for most of the journey!
So sorry for your grief!
And I totally get the introvert/rest thing.
When it comes to loss and grief, time is your best friend. Hugs are pretty good too.
Hug!
