Loss of all kinds

Loss is something that is a part of our lives. There are many different kinds of lose some devastating like the death of a loved one and some small like losing a favorite stuffed animal. We can go a long time without experiencing one and then they can seem to come all at once. I am going through that period right now. Seem to be bombarded with big and small losses left and right. And it seems like it will never let up or I can grieve each loss separately. They are just piled on top of each other. And most are huge ones. Moving, leaving grown children behind, father dying and now, barring a miracle, having to get rid of beloved pets. All this is just the past few months. I am trying to stay positive and not let it get me so down that I want to do nothing more than pull the covers over my head, never coming out. I know that is not right to do and so far I have not done it, though there was a day I did it but that was the day of dad's funeral that I was unable to go to. We had just moved 900 miles away and could not afford for me to go back. I was with him when he died and I am glad I got to be there for that. Oh on top of this all I have to find a job in this new place we have moved to. I am homesick for San Diego even though was there less then 2 years. I never felt that way about Phoenix where I lived for 16 years. I miss living there, the relaxed feel of the city, sunset on the beach and it was near most of my family. Too much going on right now and don't know how much more I will be able to handle but I am working on it and trying to get a right focus. Keep looking up as I move forward.
