Day 1650: Grief and Time

With time grief doesn’t go away it just changes – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 1 :  03 PM on day 1650 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth,  pray,  read Ezekiel 10, publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing –Cuddling Releases Natural Painkillers. Oxytocin, the so-called love or cuddle hormone, is produced during an embrace or cuddle. The hormone appears in the brain, ovaries and testicles and is thought to be involved in the bonding process. Research has found that a dose of oxytocin decreases headaches significantly, and for some it even makes the pain go away completely after 4 hours – feed myself egg and bread for breakfast and go shopping with mom.

 

Last year my grandma died in the first few months after her death I thought about her frequently but now days go by without me thinking of her and when something does finally remind me of her I feel so guilty for not remembering her more often it’s awful.

Day 1444: A Month and Three Days

You never really get over losing someone you love with time you just learn to live with the ache in your heart – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 12  : 59 PM on day 1444 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go back to bed,  feed myself boiled egg with bread for breakfast (with mom’s help), pray,  read Psalm 132, publish my Disability of the Day feature and have a foot massage for my foot infection and ask celebrities to help me with my upcoming campaign  – I asked a few celebs to auction off something of theirs and donate the proceeds to my upcoming campaign hopefully it works.

 

It’s been a month and three days since my grandma died I thought I would be over it by now but I’m not I guess you never really get over losing someone you love with time you just learn to live with the ache in your heart.

Day 234

From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity. – Edvard Munch

It’s 9: 18 PM on day 234 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a boiled egg for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, continue reading A Purloined Life – the first of two books in Stella Cameron‘s Charmed – feed myself boiled green banana with a yoghurt and onion dip for dinner and tweet about my campaign – still no luck damn it I wish everyone would pitch in seeing as we’re all in this together.

Today started out like any other day until Christine – someone I didn’t even know – sent me a message telling me that Brannan – the little boy I wrote a post about yesterday – had passed away and in that moment I couldn’t stop the tears but after about fifteen minutes I dried my eyes and started thinking about ways to honour Brennan’s life which is when I came up with Brannan’s Pledge  – our promise to end all forms of discrimination.
