I. Can't. Even.

No sense blathering on about yarny stuff today. The world is upside down. Since I was named for her, she has been like my fairy godmother and now she too is gone. The power of her grief is terrifying me. I'm going to go sit in a corner and rock until I can process all this sadness. Ttyl....

    I am named after her too.

    I can't tell you how many Debbies were in my classes growing up. I even have a cousin with the exact same name as mine. (My mother was NOT happy about that, but then again, she wasn't happy about very much of anything.)

      Same here. We all had to be known as Debbie K. or Debbie N. I went on my high school graduation trip with two other Debbies. Even as an adult several of my friends are Debbies now too.

    It has been an awful last few months. So much loss.
    Blessings,

    They shouldn't have included her in the "arrangements"for her daughter,...too much stress.

    One can never underestimate the power of grief that's for sure! I experienced it 1st hand when my 17 year old son was killed in a car accident. Every hair on my head turned white and I was simply paralized with grief for so many years afterward. I wanted to join him but I still had other children to raise so I had to overcome it.

    I was saddened by the double loss.
    Grief needs its attention.
    Sit in your corner and be sad.
    It's healthy for you.

    Awww Honey. Big big hugs to you. I saw it kind of sweet that they were only without one another for a day or so. Go ahead and rock. Im still boo hooing about my kids going back to their lives so far away.

    So sorry! I can't help but think that she was devastated by the loss of her daughter. I must be one of the few Debbie's who wasn't named after her. She can still be an inspiration; I think she'd like that.

    So sad! This has been a very hard year, and I sure hope 2017 is better. Sad to say, I have some doubts in this department, but we can hope, right?
