People trying to tell us how to feel. Sorry, I thought I was an INDIVIDUAL! Individuals have individual feelings, processes, thresholds, tolerances, etc. It's what makes them INDIVIDUAL!<br /><br />And I have to say that I worry about those people who snap right back into the groove after suffering a loss or some other kind of shock. Me, I think they're in denial and eventually, it will catch up with them.<br /><br />A really insightful post, and moving.

I think it would flow better. I had to think back to where part A had ended, and if you'd posted the whole thing, then I'd have had less clicks. Yes, extremely lazy. One compromise would be that if you don't have part b done, then just post a. But when you do post b, re-post a with it. Anyways...I love Pearl and you're wonderful humor in the midst of grieving. (I can personally relate to the casserole-smashing need...sometimes I'd rather do the cooking myself if the casserole means I also get "advice."Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-51997426445880705992010-09-07T06:45:54.961-07:002010-09-07T06:45:54.961-07:00I am really loving this...can't wait to read m...I am really loving this...can't wait to read more.
