How are folks doing traveling the grief cycle? [View all]
I've thankfully been busy - new grandchild and lots of babysitting, super cold weather, my birthday, my wife's birthday.
But that now all ends - and it will be about garden planning and book writing, but I will have more time to let my brain leak into politics.
Like many of us I was immediately into shock and denial. EarlG and elad's new DU forum, The Way Forward, are helping me to touch into choice 6 - working through - and that is where I currently find myself.. I will not be able to achieve choice 7 for a long time - perhaps not until "he" is done with his carnage and we can look forward to a Dem president.
These are not straight lines, not step wise - we can bounce around forward and backward. But I can say that I zipped around choices 1, 2, 3 and 4.
This is a cycle I found that adds a few steps to the typical 5 step Kugler Ross. I think we need them.
Just curious how you are doing.
