Actually, its your heart that needs it, rather than your brain, which can process the facts of life and loss rather more quickly. Day to day living does carry on, as it must, but there are little holes in it that were once filled by the ones we lost, unseen and unfelt by anyone but us, as the world goes about its business. Those little gaps belong to us, and with us, and are something to be grateful for, in a way. In time, something of the aching is replaced, by happy memories, and funny moments, of times when we were together, like a little patch on a quilt. I like to think that those who have loved the most, in all kinds of ways, at all kinds of times, and for all kinds of things in their lives, end up with the most beautiful fabric to show for it. A life full of experiences and emotions, a life well lived. <br />You take a bit of time out, a bit of middle distance staring, when you feel the need to. A bit of dreaming of a future time, when things will be done at a gentler pace. And then, enjoy every minute of what you have now.

Rabbits are thin on the ground here, so he has to make do with eating damp grass that was cut a few days previously that has started to pickle. And of course a salami sandwich would never be refused. I know what you mean about the strangeness of life going on after a death. It takes a long time to adjust to a beloved presence that is no longer there. I hope you're having a good week. Bloglovin appears to be broken at the moment, so I had to come and find you myself.
