Moving On

7 months later and I am still being asked if my house feels empty. Well in all honesty I do sometimes think I see mom in bed. And sometimes the illusion of the shelf I put up with pictures acts like an optical illusion. Sometimes I think I hear her and it's really Brie. It's all grief. those "sometimes" are getting less and less. I pulled a muscle in my back. Again grief. It's ok really. As long as I recognize it. There is sadness of course. But I am getting better at reasoning where my reactions are coming from. And then I can concentrate on how grateful I am for mom.
