Beyond Cancer. Navigating Now! Feeling Grief and Exploring Legacy.

[@josephflynn8158]

Hello Kelly. My heart continues to go out to you and your daughters. No particular words of inspiration come to mind right now. However, in viewing your videos it’s clear to me you will persevere.

Thank you Joseph. I appreciate that. Sometimes persevering looks like blabbing it out until something begins to shift. When it remains inside the thoughts and feelings swirl around like a hamster in a wheel.

Kelley. The firsts are always the worst. Grief is such a strange feeling that sometimes we think we are getting a handle on it and it pops up when we least except it. You are doing amazing just putting one foot in front in front of the other just now. Tim has left an amazing legacy with the 2 beautiful girls he created with you. Sending love always.

Thank you Martina🩷

I’m on week 15 … since I lost Sky … add in the 4 yrs he was ill . I’m having less and less grief spells for which I’m grateful as my physical health was / is deteriorating. I will celebrate Skys sons on Father’s Day for him ❤.

[@kellyisabelledemarco]

A big hug to you. I’m glad his sons have you.

Grief is such a horribly ghastly thing to go through. It seems like it doesn’t even help to know others have experienced it. But maybe it does. And maybe it helps to know we’re here and we’re listening. May the peace of God give you and your children comfort. ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ (Philippians 4:13)

Thank you Christine. It helps to speak it out loud and it helps to know my words aren’t falling into some bottomless pit somewhere. It helps to know others know the feelings…and it also feels like a solo journey to some extent. Ghastly is a good word for how it feels being in the middle of it.

[@christinesorensen8050]

@@kellyisabelledemarco Yes, I know ghastly fits. Because I’ve experienced it.

Dreams change w time...everything has changed for you....don't feel obligated to continue the farm dream.. it may be time for a new dream.

[@kellyisabelledemarco]

Thanks for that. Part of it was my dream. Sorting out if it’s time to lean all the way into that one or pull out completely. I want to rush the answer but I think it’s one I need to slow down and wait for.

@kellyisabelledemarco fwd think 10.years from.today....kids probably gone ...college, ..jobs, ...lives of their own.....and if ur tired today how will 10 years added be? I've never been to your farm but I know they are a bear to operate in time, energy and cost....perhaps scale down ...simplify things....u will have more problems to deal w in life as we all will....huge heating bills...repairs....broken young hearts.... car issues...medical issues..etc..etc.. a home near some good reliable friends or relatives can be priceless when u need other adults nearby. Just my.2 cents

Hi Kelly my heart goes out to you and I know how you feel because I miss my mom and my father and my aunt she recently passed away 💔 😢and you are not alone

[@kellyisabelledemarco]

Thank you Vance. I’m sorry for your many losses too. Loss of another’s life is certainly a powerful reminder to value the remainder of the one we’ve been gifted to live. While I feel I have some time here yet, my days feel numbered…if that makes any sense.
