On DnAK1K2 moving to Seattle
My brain tells my heart, Hey! In the first place,they are going back home. Second, they are moving to what will hopefully be a better life, in both quality and in material benefits. You have had seven great years with them, when the children were young and needed you a lot. Look on the bright side, you're lucky to have had them near you.
My heart tells my brain, the loss of daily interaction with them, in real life and not through a phone or a net connection, is a loss indeed. It's a real loss, and let me grieve for that loss.
My brain tells my heart, yes, but manage your grief.Don't sink into sadness, which will achieve nothing, and will deplete you. You are lucky to have good friends and active interests and activities that you enjoy. You are lucky to have good health. The positives in your life outweigh the negatives.
With a tremendous and sustained effort, I will listen to my brain.... But I do understand, deeply, the meaning of the Hindi phrase, aansoo piye jaa (swallow your tears). My tears are shed in my heart, not from my eyes. Life goes on.
Amazing, that each of us goes through loss and grief, in some form or the other, but that doesn't make it one whit easier to bear for anyone!
