LONG CAPTION AHEAD So today marks a year and one month that my mom passed away. I remember people telling me how strong I was, but that was only what they saw on the outside. The didn’t hear my cries in the dark. They didn’t see my tear stained pillows. They didn’t hear my pleads to God to not let me sink further. To save me... After that storm, something happened. I got so mad. My hurt turned to resentment one day and I thought “What’s wrong with me, why am I acting like this?” Fast forward about a month or so later, I saw a grief counselor. I only had one session, but in all honestly I feel that’s all I needed. She helped me to see where I was in the forever process of healing. At that moment, I was angry. I didn’t understand why I wasn’t going through the “steps” in order. I learned something that shook me. There are no said steps. See, google tells us that grief is a set of stages or steps that you go through in that order. Wanna know a secret? THATS BULL ! Yes, friends that is false. Very FEW sources tell us that you may go through all of these in order, you may go through only SOME, or you may go through all OR some back and forth forever. To this day, I still linger between stages. Sometimes I’m at the lighter end, sometimes I’m in the middle, and sometimes I’m at the crucial start of it all. Grief is a lifelong song, but it doesn’t have to be a sad one forever. #grief#griefandloss#griefsupport#griefjourney#griefsucks#griefcounseling#griefrecovery#grieftherapy#griefwork#griefawareness#griefisreal#griefislifelong#griefrevolution#captureyourgrief#griefjournaling#grieftips#griefishardwork#griefprocess#griefblogger#griefandlosssupport#healing#healingquotes#healingenergy#soulhealing#projectbreatheagain

MEET the MAKER My name is Krystle and I am 37 years old, wife to a wonderful man in the coast guard, a mom to a hilarious 16 year old, step mom to an energetic 9 year old and a newbie to crochet and the island of Oahu I started crocheting last July and have learned so much. The main thing I have learned is to to slow down, breathe and truly relax. After losing each of my parents within 7 months of eachother 1.5 years ago, quitting a high stress management position and moving to an island where I knew NO one, I started to suffer with anxiety and depression. Crochet has taught me to breathe my way to sanity. This may be a glum post to some, but I believe in being real I am in love with gifting my creations to people and seeing the love and smiles on their faces. It's so worth it! Thanks for reading my why. Next time I'll post some fun facts❤️ .btw...I am totally using the bag I made . . . . #addictedtocrochet #meetthemaker #crochetismytherapy #crochetallday #crochet_relax #mentalhealthrecovery #mentality #griefisreal #selfcaredaily #openbook #honestyisthebestpolicy

I received this picture yesterday and Oh, my heart! This picture captures so much of it. Hurry home my people! I miss you both so much. Liz and John are photographing a wedding in Ireland and Dan is returning from Egypt today. I’m just going to say he can’t afford to be gone any longer because I’ve been buying all the things as I plan my garden. Funny thing is a month ago after Liz got married I was so sad that I said I wasn’t going to garden this year. The empty nest really hit me hard ...so unexpectedly. I thought I had already grown accustomed to my new normal of all grown up children but then it hit me. The end of a season was really here. I loved that season. I also love this new season though. I just didn’t expect it to hit so hard. I’ve spent a lot of time listening to other moms like me with larger families share how God walked them through the end of a season and into the next. It was helpful to know I was normal. Haha. Anyway, I’m planning and am excited for this next season in lots of ways , the season of flowers and this season of life. (Thank you Lord for being what matters most in every season and for never changing or leaving. Amen!) #allthingshomeandheaven #pretty #❤️ #seasons #emptynest #griefisreal #soisgodsgoodness #psireallylovethisphotoofthem

I’ve been struggling with a lack of motivation lately. It literally takes me HOURS to get out of bed once I have woken up. I can’t explain why, but it’s been a problem for a couple of months. When I saw this daybed, I knew I needed it. To fill the empty space in my home, and to help me get out of my bedroom in the mornings. This morning I watched the sun rise. And I read my scriptures. And I snuggled with Charlie. And this morning I feel like I can tackle the pile of laundry and the stack of dishes that’s been accumulating #goodmorning #griefisreal #grief #sunrise #daybed #readingnook @wayfair

Today we say, “I’ll miss you,” to a very special man, who has held a very special place in my life for a very long time. ✨✨ . . . . .
