Gaining insight

Spending time with my family has been so healing for me. I could talk freely about my pain over Michael's death. They were able to give me
Some insight . I kept saying, I've got to get over this because I will kill myself with cancer if I don't.
No matter how many messages I give myself, I just can't stop the tears sometimes. Steve told me that emotions come from a different part of the brain than thoughts. They are like an egg cracked on your head then oozing down. You just can't stop the tears from coming. I just need to allow them. Fighting it doesn't help. It just makes it worse. New message to me: feeling sad about Mike and crying is not going to make your cancer come back. Allow your feelings. It is all a part of the grieving process.
It is what it is, Sallee. Let it be.
Thank you dear family. I love you all so much!
