Diving. Surviving. Thriving.

[DWS]

Just stumbled upon this short video on the Youtube channel "Lost Without Her" and though I could have done without the sad music in the background, Mark has presented three stages that I think are much more in line to the grief journey. I'm definitely "surviving" and not quite sure if I will ever get to "thriving".  How about everyone else?

I feel the same. I'm surviving. My forward outlook has no goals. I'm doing well to get through each day and care for my critters. My motivation has even decreased. I have Amazon boxes I haven't been breaking down and cutting up. I bought a electric box cutter that rips right through them and was keeping up. But at some point I stopped caring and now have a big time consuming job on my hands.
