Mr Moo and I are schedule to leave on vacation to Utah in 10 days. Because I'm still not feeling great and with everything that happened with Zoe this week, we're not sure if we still want to go. On the one hand, I think it will do us a load of good to get out of here for a while and focus on something other than our grief. We've talked about postponing the trip until later in the year, but I worry if we don't go now, we'll end up never going at all. The tickets are bought. The reservations are set. We should just shut up and go. On the other hand, we haven't had time to do a single iota of research about the places we're supposed to be visiting. I'm still coughing and hacking like I have tuberculosis and not sleeping well. We're both way behind on work. And, since we're both still grieving over Zoe so much, we're just not sure we could enjoy ourselves at all. So, I ask you this, dear readers, should we or shouldn't we go and why? |
Moo, 2 days after losing my precious kitty baby, I had to travel to help my sister with set up for a show she was doing. My heart was like yours. I was grieving and just didn't feel like going. I did go, do to obligation, but I have to say, it did help to get out from my town, and see new scenery. I still grieved, but it was better than sitting at home. Different issues, scenery would help me to take my mind off the loss for short periods of time. I personally think it would do you good to go too. If Zoe was able to talk to you, I am sure she would say.... Momma, please go, I want you to be happy too. I am happy now, I am not sick anymore, I will be with you even when you go on vacation and I will be watching you from above... Now GO, have fun for me.. Love you momma, Zoe |
GO, part of grieving is moving forward. Staying in place makes it too easy to be overwhelmed by sadness. So what if you haven't researched the trip down to the last moment. This might be the time to just let the trip happen. Relax and go with the flow. Not having every moment scheduled allows for the unexpected to happen. |

M -- I believe you SHOULD go: you both are in desperate need of a huge break, and a change in scenery. Think of it as "mind cleanser"... you both need to recharge. As you say, it's all in place and paid for. When I was laid off in '02, I promptly spent two weeks in the Queen Charlottes in B.C--and personally, it was a just and proper tonic. I strongly urge you to follow through and take the trip as planned. You'll be glad you did.
