Well here's something interesting

I went to see the therapist today. I was telling her that we were approaching the three year mark for Jim's passing. And she looked at her notes and looked at me. And looked at her notes and looked at me. And then she said "Kate, you're only approaching the two year mark, and what your experiencing is completely normal."

Good God. It seems like forever since he passed away. But it hasn't even been two years.

Well I guess therapy is worth it if only for that - she did the math and thusly validated that I was completely normal. At least in terms of my grief!
