It’s been nearly two months since I was hospitalized, and I’ve been thinking about how much has changed since then.

When I finally came home, I thought I’d be able to settle back into my normal routine. But recovery had other plans.

What I hadn’t anticipated was how much the experience would affect me beyond my physical health.

I’ve talked before about how difficult hospitals have become for me since losing Rodney. Being hospitalized myself brought some of those feelings back in ways I wasn’t expecting.

And while I’ve made progress, the past couple of months have definitely challenged me.

I’ve learned that just because an experience is over doesn’t mean you’re finished processing it.

There’s a lot more to this story, and I’ll probably share pieces of it as I feel comfortable.

For now, I’m just glad to be finding my way back to the things I enjoy, including writing here.

This little corner of the internet is where I write about grief, healing, and the unexpected process of rebuilding life after loss. Some posts are reflections, some are small wins, and some are just honest moments from the journey.

If you’re navigating grief too, I’m really glad you’re here.
