Elephant Room

Episode 6: Crossroads

When the "healing" process causes a different kind of hurt. I have tried and failed at recording/publishing another episode for several months now. Hitting the one year anniversary of losing mom threw me into a grief tale spin and I felt fear over losing the friends who didn't pull away from me in the past year. I am still grieving. Even if I appear to be doing better. Even if I AM doing better. And talking about it still helps. Thanks for listening. It means a lot.

Episode 2-Who am I after this?

During grief, I have lost so much of my identity. I don't know who I am. I don't know what I want from life. If I even want anything from life. On top of losing mom, I feel as though I have lost the me who used to be. The one who I was when mom was here.
