Leaving For Christmas: December 18, 2006

I've been having some anxiety today, don't know if it's due to the gluten or what. A friend of mine was killed Sunday night on the way back from her family Christmas. A woman in another car crossed the center line and hit them head on. Deb was killed instantly and the woman and her husband in the other car were killed. Deb's husband is in very critical condition. Why do all the good ones die? A couple months ago another friend died suddenly. It's so unreal. My heart breaks for Deb's children. I can't even imagine what they are going thru. When Dad died, I had warning. I even sat with him while he died. I knew it was going to happen. but to get a phone call out of the blue that your mother has died and your dad is clinging to life has to be one of the most difficult things to go thru. I feel like crying but I can't seem to cry.

We're traveling today. We have a five or six hour drive ahead of us. The forecast is for ice but I'm hoping it holds off till we get to our destination. I'm really out of sorts emotionally today. I feel like going back to bed and watching tv and be totally mindless and alone. It seems like I've been like this for a while now. I'm not sure what's going on.

Ann, no wonder you're anxious, I would be too if my friend just got killed by an oncoming car, and you're going to be traveling on potentially icy roads. I am surprised you're even going.

And being out of sorts is probably for the same reason. You're mourning the loss of a friend, and you're worried about her husband and their children. It sounds like you are having a normal reaction to all this terrible news.

So, don't try to force yourself to 'snap out of it', you need to allow yourself to feel this way. It's normal. I will say a prayer for Deb's husband and their kids, and for you, too.

Thank you for the prayers. We made it home safely and so did all our family. We had family stranded in Colorado for a few days and one that needed to get into Denver and couldn't. It all worked out in the end though. We had a nice visit with the family that could make it but we're awfully glad to be back home. It's in the 50's here and hardly seems like Christmas.
