It’s OK to Cry at Night
I cried last night. It happens sometimes since Richard died. I’ll curl up in bed, just before it’s time to go to sleep after a busy, exhausting day, and that’s when I think about Richard. I’ll spend a few minutes at night, just talking to him. Sometimes I let myself cry, just for a minute. Then usually, I go to sleep.
It’s OK to cry. But this morning, when I woke up, I made myself get moving. As I say in my book, you have to Focus, Focus, Focus! I focused on what was ahead for the day and in my life, not what was in the past.
Settling Richard’s estate is one of the most stressful things I’ve ever experienced. I sometimes wake up and think, “Oh my God, I can’t get out of bed today.” But I focus on where I have to be, what I have to do, and then I GO!
Promise me you won’t stay in bed all day. Promise me that you’ll focus on putting those feet on the floor each morning. Once they are there, you’ll get moving.
Focus on your future. Let your heart cry at night, but in the morning, get up, get going, and get on with making your life what you want it to be.
