Reaching out

When you're grieving, you tend to kind of pull in on yourself for a while and not email or call anyone. The problem with this is, when you're ready to talk again, people tend to have gotten out of the habit of communicating with you. Today I decided I was feeling way too isolated, so I sent out some emails. I'm lonely with no one but kids in the house, and I need some adult "conversation," even if it's only via email. I hereby resolve to respond to all emails immediately, so that I become a complete and total nuisance to all my cyberfriends:-). I'm going to brunch with my extended family on Mother's Day, too. Hopefully that will help get rid of the feeling of isolation, at least a little bit.
