Day 18 – Joy (What are your thoughts on feeling joy and
happiness after loss?)
This one is nice and
simple. It took time, but ultimately, I know there is no one I love that I
would want to see spending their lives sad or not feeling joy and happiness, so
I know Lily wouldn’t want that for us. I don’t know if that sounds a cop out,
but it’s true. But like I said, it took time. I guess it helped that we chose
to spend Lily’s life celebrating and focusing on being happy with the gift we
were given, the precious life we were given, even though it was short. Although
it took time, I had a different outlook on life, one of those things that only
ever happen to other people, happened to us, and we were reminded how precious
and short life can be. Why would I spend the time I have unhappy? I never felt
guilt at feeling happy. When the people I love are sad, it hurts. If Lily was
watching, I wouldn’t want to be hurting her by choosing to not allow myself to
be happy.
