My weekend “to-do” list is remaining mostly undone, but that is okay. I think I had high hopes, but not enough bandwidth to tackle the list.
This weekend, I spent time with my grandchildren and other family members either in person or via telephone calls. These interactions were definitely more meaningful than any household chores.
Right now I feel like I am in survival mode, and that is okay, too. Life is hard right now trying to figure out what my new normal will look like. I am caught between two lives – the one I had prior to September 2025 and the one after. My mind knows what I need to do, but my heart is unwilling.
The quiet voice inside my head is saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”

I peeked back into your blog to get a bit of the back story. I’m sorry but I’m so glad you are writing your way through it. It will always be “early days” I think – having witnessed a surprising loss in our family, there are times when years are but yesterdays.

I’m glad you spent time with your grandchildren. Somehow they know how to make us happy.
and yes…you’re in the early days of grieving. Give yourself a break with your chores. You’re going to have plenty of time after June to tackle them.
