Morning Pages Day 2

We buried my husband yesterday.  I don’t ever want to have to do that again.  I don’t ever want to grieve love again.  Why does that keep happening.  Love isn’t meant for me.  I don’t understand. Sitting in the front row it hurt so bad.  Watching J.C. going up to talk about Travis tore my heart out.  Talking about how great of a man was lost.  I know he was wonderful, amazing, one of a kind man.  I wouldn’t have let him meet my children.  I wouldn’t have let him be part of my life if he wasn’t an amazing man.  You are not telling me anything I don’t already know!  I am so angry that he is gone.  I want to scream my head off!!! I loved him so very much.

I am in our house.  I can’t believe he is not going to just walk in the door from the lab.  We should be drinking coffee in our chairs in the living room.   We should be listening to the radio playing from the garage.  I want to hear the weights clanking.  I really miss our coffee time.  Coffee will never be the same.  Why is life so unfair.  Artists are tragic.  Why the @)*% did I want to be an artist.  I can’t help it.  At the moment I don’t even want to paint.  Where is my muse? My inspiration? Morning Pages help get the junk out of my brain.  They put the frustrations on the page and out of my head.  This blog is my therapy.  I don’t care if anyone ever reads it. Does it even make sense?  I don’t care.  I going to stop caring about anything but my kids.  This blog sucks.  Now that I have it I don’t even know what to write. YUCK.

Morning Pages Day 1

As I ride in the car to my husbands funeral in Nebraska. I’m so angry that I have to do this again. Why? Dear God, I want to know why you think I need to do this again. I feel like this isn’t fair. Not just to me but to my children. I wanted a father for my girls. Maybe I did something wrong, but they did not. My dream was to be a wife with a husband and children. I wanted to be a mommy. We needed support of a husband and father. 

  I thought I found that in Travis. He was a good father. The girls loved him. We were starting to become a family. The girls would sit with Travis and watch tv. I had someone to cook more than macaroni and cheese for. I had someone to talk to before bed. That is something I missed before I married Travis. I miss holding his hand and feeling safe in his arms. Why is this happening?
