triggers

The problem with associating certain songs with missing Lev is that if they get played in random locations, like a restaurant, I don't realize why I've all of a sudden started crying until I key into the background music.. and then with a baby sleeping on your lap you just need to sit there and wipe your eyes. 

--- damn that Iron and Wine song... (it's on the blog earlier)

I have been meaning to write about a few things, but instead I blog in my head. 

I'll write down future topics to get it off my brain. Maybe that will help we not to dwell:

Looking for signs - the heart string 
Preserving good, new memories - floating
Answering the damn, "Is this your first child?" question
Fear of Liana's death - the rash
When Liana gets sick
Looking for Lev in Liana
Lev's friends getting older, being seniors
Looking happy, being sad
Explaining Lev to Liana
Embracing Happiness, keeping busy
Recognize the grief instead of being swallowed by it
Searching for reasons to live
Circling back to anger, frustration, guilt, fear and pining
Brain malfunction, too busy processing 
Going on living everyone's nightmare
This is life 2.0
