I do believe laughter is the best medicine but sometimes the laughter is just not there. I wasn't sure if I'd share this but I realize it's important to show vulnerability as well as strength.
I had a major melt down this weekend. It was not pleasant and it was awful for Devin and Steven to watch it happen. I know better but sometimes you can feel the wreck coming on and you just can't find the emergency brake. The evening started normally. I was exhausted and I had a Bellini martini and another and then one or two more. Not sure at this point. Anyway, enough to let all hell break loose and grief that I've had bottled up spilled out, soaking my household and onto my sister. At one point Devin yelled at me. I was a little hurt but I realize that was what it took to shake me out of it.
Now let me tell you how God worked through this for me. Out of the blue yesterday our pastor called about a grief share class that is starting tonight. It sounds like exactly the thing that I need. This is a biblical based group that meets for 11-13 weeks. If you are in need of such a group, google Grief Share and find a group meeting in your area.
In the mean time sign me off today as looking for laughter.
