There are, of cߋսrѕе, some negative factoｒs too freelancing.
One necessary point is that if you happen to work as a freelаnhe paralegal youս will not bｅe eⅼigible
ffor the varieties of advantages that youd have in working
for a legislation firm or a personal attorney.
Ӏf you really feel that such “perks” as basic mdical health insurance and diffеrent ѕuch advantages
are important, freelancing iis not going to provіde yօu with
these benefits.

Thank you for writing this; it's very similar to how I'm feeling. So many parts of this struck an unpleasant chord – the black dress, life going on, and the bewildering lack of a roadmap. Thank you for sharing because I'm glad to know it's not just me, but on the other hand I'm so very sorry you have to go through this as well. Prayers for you and your family.

I've been thinking about this since I read it yesterday. Today is my sister's birthday and three years ago on her birthday my Grandfather was diagnosed with liver cancer. It was such a quick illness for him, he passed in April of that year, and sometimes it still doesn't feel like it happened. I'll go home to visit and think why didn't Grandaddy turn on the outside light? Thinking of you and your family!

Beautiful post. I have been there and understand the "forgetting" and then rehashing and the time of purgatory for things to make sense again. Hugs. xo Amanda

I wish I could say or do something to make you feel better but I cant. Losing a loved one, especially a parent, is so hard. I cant even begin to imagine how you feel right now so I am just going to send you hugs.

It's alright to not be okay my friend. This is one of the hardest times in your life. But I totally understand, sometimes we forget bc it helps. It's always sounds weird to me when people say this but it's true…..it will get easier.

I think that's exactly what grief is like. You DO forget simply because you are going on with your life. Some moments you feel fine and in others a thought, memory, or something reminds you. And it IS hard. And it IS ok. It will get better in time, and no one expects you to be there yet! Hugs and continued prayers, my friend!

Oh my goodness Joey, I am so thankful for these words. Not at all thankful that you are feeling these things, but I am reassured by your honesty. I know people have told you, I'm sure, that these are normal feelings. Smack dab in the middle of wedding planning I can tell you that I often get lost and forget that my mom won't be there, but then just as often I am reminded she's not here. It's a weird place to be. They say it gets easier with time, and I know it will for us both. I haven't been blogging at all so I hate that I haven't been checking up on you either. Give yourself grace in the moments when you don't feel okay. It's hard to do, but you deserve it. XOXO sending you the biggest of hugs!
