Today I took a big step. I went to a doctor and told him that I want to get well. I don't want to continue being sad. I think I'll call this "giving up the grief". I've held onto it very tightly since my beautiful daughter died in a car wreck over two years ago. She was such a beautiful person and a blessing in my life and in the lives of so many other people. I've kept my grief private...some things are so painful to discuss. I've heard that we hang onto grief as a way of hanging onto the one we lost. But that doesn't bring Jamie back. I need to move forward as there will be many years 'after Jamie'. That's how I've learned to measure time - before Jamie and after Jamie.
