I asked my son, who started Kindergarten this year what he learned yesterday. And he began to share with me more than a few things. I told him how smart he was and he replied, "My head is just full of my mind." (Haha)
About a week ago, he came up to me in the kitchen where I was working, and he had something in his hands (I don't remember what) and he said, "Mom, since you have lost all of your mind, I am going to do this for you." I wasn't sure I heard him right, so I asked him to repeat it. Sure enough, I had heard correctly. So, I asked him, "so, mommy's lost her mind?" And he answered in the affirmative. So I thanked him profusely for taking care of mommy since her mind was missing. (Smiling)
At this stage in my grief, I can say that most of my missing mind can be blamed on a crazy hectic schedule, but occasionally grief will hit me and for a short time, my mind is preoccupied.
Early in the grief process we may have all our brains intact, but our mind becomes so overwhelmed with so many rapid firing thoughts that our mind in order to save itself from complete overload, shuts down for a period of time. And that is, I believe, perfectly normal. That is why, as I've posted earlier, that I believe some decision that don't have to be made immediately should just be put on the back burner until we can think clearly. And that time will come. Try to be patient!
For now, I am going to look for my mind and see if I can find it. I have a lot of things I want to accomplish today, and I need my mind to be able to get them all done. Now, if I were 5, where would I hide my mom's mind?
Have a wonderful day friend, and keep looking for the
Sunshine After the Storm
Blessings!
