There have been many days over the last 6 years that I could hardly muster up a smile never mind laughter.. being happy just wasn’t an option. Even though I wanted to happy and laugh it just seemed impossible. As time has passed and physical pain has eased laughter has thankfully become a massive part of my life. Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not walking around with a constant grin similar to that of a Cheshire Cat, nor am I busting with laughter at any given point but I have regained my sense of humour and it’s almost a relief as if I’ve allowed myself to be happy again..
There is no easy way to grieve and there are short term fixes that can be used to ease the pain..
Wine 🍷… it only dulls the pain briefly and normally results in a hangover 😞…
Shopping 🛍.. makes you feel better briefly but I’ve so many clothes I’ve never worn and credit card bills that need paid 😞….it’s not the answer….
But laughter is free and I must say I have been blessed with friends that just have funny bones and I’m blessed to have them.. Also mum had a great sense of humour and some of my best memories of mum are of her laughing.. in fact I think she was always smiling or laughing.. it would be doing Mum a great injustice not to be happy again..
I’m not sure what makes all of you laugh, but I love the guys I’ve posted pictures of on this post.. I could literally watch anything with Peter Kay ( the earlier stuff the better)… but no matter what it is that puts a smile on your face or makes you laugh out loud go with it…
It’s not just a short term fix it’s long term healing….
