Scrap Your Trip Adds 159 Items + 20% off all SYT Die Cuts

During the craziness of our move from the condo to our new house (can’t believe we’ve been here for six weeks already!), the kids were having a hard time transitioning.  They had been handling the divorce really well, but the move seemed to throw them.  So a few weeks ago we went to see a child psychologist and she had her first meeting with them last week.

Lauren told her that she had been sad at the beginning, but she was fine now.  “I like new experiences, so living in two houses is fine!”

In the car over the weekend, somehow the subject of grief came up.  I explained to the kids that even though they weren’t sad now, there were going to be more times that came up that they were sad again.

Lauren looked at me and said “Oh, and just so we’re perfectly clear…I don’t need to see a child psychologist.”

I swear, that girl is 10 going on 30!

I told her that I knew she wasn’t sad right now, but that grief was like waves in the ocean.  Sometimes they just lap at your ankles and sometimes they push you and every once in a while, a rogue wave comes and knocks you on your butt.  But that the good part was, you knew it was just a rogue wave and then the waves would go back to being small ones.

She looked at me and said “Oh, I get it.  It’s like when Panther died (her cat that we had to have put to sleep).  I had a tsunami of grief, but now the ocean is still.”

Tsunami of grief.  My 10-year old described how she felt about her cat dying as a tsunami of grief.  

Yeah, I think she’s going to grow up to be just fine.
