Grief and Personality

Grief has made me, many times, a better person than I ever thought I could be. Yet sometimes, it makes me much less of a person than I want to be. However, that's better than the times it makes me not recognize myself at all.

The person I used to be is left in part...good parts are magnified, bad parts are more intense. I'm still, five years after losing our son, Andrew and two years after losing my whole extended family, unaware of who I will eventually become.

The journey is difficult at times...surprising, in a good way, at others. Its not a journey I asked to be on, but I'll try to let it take me somewhere...hopefully landing on the better side of my person, than the alternative.
