cried all day because I watched so many memorial services, so sad, pipes, processions, the unemotional nature of life as it rips families apart.
Took a nap. Talked to Greg. Felt better.
Hope everyone is ok. Deepest sympathy to anyone here who lost anyone in the WTC attacks, directly or indirectly.

I'm sorry you had such a difficult time. I deliberately kept my television off, I knew I couldn't handle one more scene and I didn't want to expose my son (my daughter is too little) again. I remembered those who died and their loved ones in my heart and prayers and we (my family) spoke about it. There's a photographic exhibition in town, and as much as I love photography and as poignant as those photos are, I just can't imagine seeing 5000 images. I hope you're feeling better today- judy

Thanks, Judy.
I am better, and I think it was rather cathartic to spend the day in tears. At the very least, I had a real reason to be in tears, which made me less worried about spending the day that way.
Plus, I took a nap, and naps after a lot of crying are a pleasure, to me.
We are an odd lot here, aren't we? 8-)

I'm reassured by your comments, Shar and Judy, because I felt devastated Wednesday. After attending a mandatory staff luncheon, I went home, put myself to bed, and slept straight through for 15 hours. I'll probably put down the time missed from work as sick leave, but it will be hard to say exactly why if asked.
Like my body's ability to wake me at precisely 7:00 every morning, I feel significant emotional anniversaries with surprising intensity. Ironically (because I work for an international media development organization), I stopped reading the paper and watching the news sometime last October, and I've only very recently been able to resume any familiarity with current events at all.
I feel less isolated in my shock and sadness because of your sharing. Thank you for posting about this.
With kind regards,
Mark H.

my therapist told me that it is really common to feel depressed at anniversaries of almost any tragic occurrence, and sometimes (for me) it arouses memories of other horrors that have nothing to do with 9/11. I hope you are feeling better today and i'm glad the posts helped you. take care, judy
