M rushed down to the local convenience store last night before the 9pm? deadline to buy some lottery tickets for the $50 million jackpot. It seems there were some winners too. He said there was quite the lineup of last minute buyers! It didn't matter that it was cold and snowy out.
I went to church this morning. There was a sizeable 15 person choir, although some of the singing... The piano player is excellent. At the end of mass, a speaker came up to introduce a bereavement group that is available to people that are grieving. He is a widower himself and it sounded like a good group for some to work out their grief with assistance. He said most people don't often start grieving until after the funeral, when they come out of shock.
L had fun at tennis yesterday except she came home with a crick in her neck sustained diving for a shot. The important thing apparently, was that she won the game and beat her opponent.

I try to go to church about once a month. L's neck is a lot better, thanks.
ReplyDeletethx for the link as I am in process of doing a start up.
ReplyDeleteWell I didn't win :o(
ReplyDeleteI am going to keep trying!
Yes I started going to church again 20 years after giving it away. Funny when something bad happens to you its often the first thing you cling to. I found I needed it more than I had thought. I love going to Mass now and its like I have come full circle. I like the idea of the group as well Yes we all grieve differently and its when reality hits that our loved one is forever gone out of our lives it really hits us.
ReplyDeleteHope your sweet girl feels better. At least she won!
ReplyDeleteMmm, good luck with the startup, wow.
ReplyDeleteMom, M didn't win either (surprise!).
Wow, Lilly, good for you being back at church. It's what we know, I guess. I found myself praying for a lot of things/people this week but I just go about once a month.
Japra, L can be a bit of a diva sometimes, I just humour her. She's fine now.
