    Re: Covid19/Coronavirus...how is everyone's situation?

    COVID is taking a backseat to unhealthy air due to nearby wildfires. This started August 17th. Have not been outdoors much since. We had a clear day yesterday. I thought it was over for this year. Today we have smoky skies again.  Very disappointing!

    My grief group is winding down. Have learned a lot about mourning & healing. I was (probably still am to a lesser degree) carrying pathological grief. I blamed myself for causing stress (divorce) which may have hastened his death. It wasn’t the case.  Using poppers & his poor lifestyle choices hastened it. It was his time to pass on. I feel hopeful for the future. Not so burdened by guilt.

    Hope everyone is doing well!!

    No - It's not too late. It's not hopeless. Even there, there's something I can do. I just have to find the will. Ikiru (1952), film directed by Akira Kurosawa

    Thanks. His death shortly after the divorce threw me for a loop & gave me more to deal with. More thrown on top of his cheating, dishonesty & abuse. I know of people who were abused by a parent as kids, decided to go no contact as adults to save their sanity & went into a very deep grief when the abusive parent died.

    Staying indoors constantly keeping the windows closed is no fun. My eyes are burning & am feeling dizzy - all smoke related.  It’s causing me to ruminate more than usual.
