They say not to make big decisions the first year after a tragedy. It could lead to emotional and sometimes non rational, bad choices.
In my everyday life, I run things by Lance all the time. Am I overreacting? I have a hard time trusting my feelings. And other times Lance asks to read emails before I send them. 😂
In terms of our life, I’d say that more things are different than are the same. We’ve had to keep adapting. We still have hurdles that are in our path and we have to decide how to handle them.
The problem with the no big decisions after a tragedy idea is that the event fundamentally changes you.
Rory’s passing changed my emotions.
It changed my family dynamic.
My thoughts.
My plans for the future.
And my plans for right now.
We just keeping crawling over the hurdles, these big decisions, we find in our path. Then fall down on the other side.
But we’re making it over them. I hope.
Big decision for the Moore Family this week: the boys are switching schools.
I don’t think I could ever make another decision again. They would almost all be pointless.

There are times that it’s absolutely debilitating. But the boys still need me.
