I wanted to post today to tell you all who have supported Jeremie and I throughout this year...Thank you!
I so appreciated seeing so many of you at his viewing and funeral. I wish time could have been slowed down for just a day. I would have loved to spend more time with everyone. I'm so grateful for the love, prayers and sweet thoughts everyone has shared with us, not just on Friday and Saturday but this last year too.
I think the only way I'm gonna try and get up everyday is knowing we have such incredible people in our lives. It was so nice to have a Mom here to take care of kids and food and just being another adult in the house. It really took some pressure off. I'm definitely sad that her presence is gone. But I guess I have to get used to this sometime.
I'm not gonna lie and say I don't hurt and don't just want to curl up in my bed and never come out. I'm seriously fighting that more today then I have in this whole experience. But I guess that is when you make yourself get out of bed. My kids are amazing...they really are trying to make ME feel better. They are incredible little human beings. I think the fog is definitely lifting...and I'm not appreciating feeling and having such clarity of thought at the moment.
I'm hoping I can figure out how to do this without physically having him by my side. I know he is with me. I'm feeling selfish. I want to hear his voice and want him to hug me.
So I personally can use some of your sweet prayers. Hopefully what sanity I have left will remain with me, and really in time I won't hurt so bad. Isn't that what every body says?
Again, Thank you all! Love you all....
Cori & Kids
I have been thinking about you everyday. You are an incredible mom, nurse, cousin, friend, human being and you can do anything! Just take it one hour at a time, 15 min at a time, or 1 minute at a time (a whole day can be a little daunting). I love you and I am always thinking of you. Call me if you need ANYTHING! Even if you just need to vent or cry or yell for a few minutes. Anytime. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what you must be going through. You are such an amazing example to us all. Such a sweet family you have. I love you Cori, please let us know if you need anything at all. Sometimes friends lose touch, but we never stop thinking of each other. We always seem to be there for each other when times get rough. Prayers for you to have the strength you need to get through the next tough year you have in front of you. Love ya girlie.
ReplyDeleteI remember in the days following my divorce, a good friend told me that I could look down the road and know that no matter how much I was grieving today, I would be feeling a little bit better in a month...and better than that in 3 months...and better than that in 6 months. It was so hard to imagine, but of course, it happened. It didn't make it easier on the hardest days, but I did know there was life after grief...and there would be laughter and fun again. I love you, Cori. My prayers are with you. I'll be down there next month for a wedding and would love to see you again and spend a little more time than we had at the funeral.
