It’s been 525,600 minutes since it all changed.
This past year has been the hardest of my life. The months after Adam died were particularly brutal. Having everything change in the blink of an eye, but not having any idea what happened was beyond comprehension. TBH, it still is. Shortly after he passed, our 8 y/o dog Fritz started acting like a completely different dog, it was vet visits, specialists and trainers for 4 months until it was discovered that he essentially had dog dementia. I chose to put him down on Easter Sunday. My little family of 5, was suddenly a family of 3.
The grief touches every molecule of my being. I’m here, but I’m not. I’m uncomfortable all the time. I’ve cried every day. I sleep, and I’m more tired when I wake up than I was when I went to bed. It’s like fighting a war everyday. My brain is constantly “remember when Adam died? Remember when Adam died?” Bitch, I remember.
I’ve been surrounded by love at every turn, embraced by family and friends in ways I didn’t even know I needed. In the beginning I thought it’ll all be so different a year on, but it’s not really. How lucky I have been to have had a man I loved so much. How lucky I am to carry this grief, even though it’s incredibly heavy. It doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger, or so I’m choosing to believe. I’m sure this sounds tres tres tragique, and that’s only because it is. I do see the sun in the distance and I’m just going to keep moving with the wind. ♥️
Today is the 8th anniversary of moving to Beaverton! We'd spent 6 years living in a small classic NW Portland apartment. In typical Adam fashion, we never really talked about a house, one day it was just "our tax guy said we should buy a house," and that was that. This was shortly after I got my real estate license, so the joy of home shopping was still fresh. I looked at around 50 houses for us, before I stumbled into this one. I'd spent the majority of my life filled with disdain for Beaverton, but this neighborhood changed that view completely. I really was meant for a a suburban fantasy. We moved in on a Saturday, and @lauriegretzinger delivered our most loved Cooper dog on Sunday. This house has comforted and kept me for many years, and I hope to spend many more years in this spot. I'm currently updating and transforming our house into my house and it's been exciting, sad, fun, tragic and joyful. Hug 'em close and remember it all goes by really fast. ❤️
