Apologies for my absence

[sea_thoughts]

I'm sorry that I haven't been around much. Since Granddad's funeral, the knowledge that he's dead and I'll never see him again has come back and hit me all over again. It wasn't as hard thi time but it has led to this feeling of not wanting to do much. I haven't even written, which is really frustrating and I want to restart my works in progress.

If I haven't commented on your LJ, it's not because I don't care. I do care, I really do. I just haven't been myself lately.

*squishes you* Perfectly understandable, love. I hope you feel a little better soon. ♥

Thanks for your kindness, especially given your own health issues.

Hang in there, chica. <3

[sea_thoughts]

You, too, babe.

Give it time. Don't rush the process.

[sea_thoughts]

Thanks, Blue. <3 How'd the interview go?

[bjfactory.livejournal.com]

Just accepted an offer. The hard part is the work-visa. The harder part is doing a good job. One thing at a time though :)

Oh dear, you. You. We know you care - please know that we care about you dearly <3 Take the time you need.

(I really need a hug icon, 'cause buckets of hugs are needed in cases like these <3)

*snuggles* Thanks.

[rumpelsnorcack.livejournal.com]

*hugs* it's okay, I think we all understand :)

This is a tough time so look after yourself and do what feels right when it feels right and we'll all still be here when you feel up to being here too :)

*more hugs*

[sea_thoughts]

I appreciate it.

Take some time to breathe.

[sea_thoughts]

I will, thanks. At least, I'm trying.

Thanks for understanding.

Oh, honey. I understand. I went to a lecture about grief not too long ago. "Disorganization" (after numbness) is one of the stages of grief. It can cause you to be pre-occupied, lose things, forget things - it's not just sadness. Be kind of yourself. *hugs*

[sea_thoughts]

It's so good to hear from you. Thanks. *hugs*

[sache.livejournal.com]

Perfectly understandable.

*hugs*

[sea_thoughts]

*hugs back* Thank you.

There's a reason why they call it a grieving process. Don't feel guilty about doing what you need to do.

[sea_thoughts]

Oh Blue. <33

[sea_thoughts]

Thanks, babe. Sorry for the late response. :(
