It is not your door.
I've had this in draft for almost 2 months wondering if I should post. I read a quote that resonated with me..."When you come out of a storm you won't be the same person that walked in...that's what a storm is about." So here I am relating to the door on a house. Some people like the color of my door and some don't. But it was my storm, my door - my house.

I say goodbye again. A reminder of my child now gone is that I no longer need my village.

There are risks to a lot we do in life. Driving a car. Flying in a plane, or taking a particular medicine. The risks to losing Lydia were great and my head understood them but what I've come to realize my heart did not.
Numb.
Feeling numb after the loss of Lydia
The holidays.
I never did get excited for the holidays. However, after losing a child, I can't even put into words how empty I feel.
So much for resiliency
So much for resiliency
Through the looking glass
Through the looking glass. I would change everything.
Loving Lydia
