It has been a long tough ten days, I have been trying to get through something a feeling that was making me feel uneasy unhappy. I know it well. But I was only able to put a name to it after a conversation in the Theraputic community with my care cordinator. Its probably a year and a half since that conversation. I will never forget her telling me, but Simon thats grief. I cried, and today sitting having an early dinner as I watched the clouds roll away and the sun come out it came to me. That feeling I couldnt shake for the last week or so. Grief. I am releived, even happy to put a name to my feelings. Yes I am sad, but this walk has been a roller coaster, joy ride, an experience in learning. In meeting other people who all have burdens to carry lives to lead. Who I have discovered are kind generous loving, thoughtful. The camino the way is a microcosom of amazing.
