I have been very tired lately, exhausted really, but have done very little in the way of activity. I takes so much energy for me to even breathe these days. People outside my world dont understand that fact for me. Yesterday, I went home exhausted & received the first of the Graduation Annoucements from the kids in Matt's class. First of all , let me say, how much I appreciate these kids sending me annoucements. We live in a small town & Matt attended our Catholic School here that consisted of 18 kids in his class from K-8th grade. So these kids are very close to Matt & me, when they went to high school they all remained very close. I love the fact that the rest of the 17 kids are sending me announcements. I hate that I'm NOT sending annoucements of our own. So, that was the first meltdown for me.
As I was exhausted, I thought I would try to lay down for a bit and try to take a little nap. As I am trying to rest my brain, I have all of these random thoughts that pass through my mind. I began thinking about a trip that my daughter & I took a couple weeks ago to visit family. We were at a museum & I was remembering that my niece and I were having a funny conversation about boys, & I thought how much that must of embarrassed Matt that we were takling about boys in front of him......in that instance I had forgot for the first time that Matt could not have been there because he died over a year ago! How horrible of me to forget! I honestly think I have lost my mind, I understand PTSD & the symptoms associated with it, but how could I forget if only for a split second. I am very confused, very confused.
