Judy Price is Writing

The day after the night before! 

I never thought facilitating divorce recovery groups could affect me the way a ‘party’ used to do.

I know it is my grief surfacing, as the holiday season without my Mom for the first time approaches, as well as ‘spreading myself too thin’,  that is rendering me in this state.

I have to nurture myself as I counsel others to do.  I must be kind to myself and allow the tears to cleanse me once again, as these waves wash over me. 

I need to give myself permission to ‘wallow’ in self-pity, at least for a little while, before getting on with living . . .
