The Things You Don't Do Anymore

Make a list in your head right now of everything you used to do that you don't anymore. Don't soften it. Don't add caveats like “maybe one day.” Just the list.

For some it is not being pain free, difficulties with daily activities s. For some it's standing long enough to cook dinner. For some it's the spontaneous yes, the “let's go” energy that used to be part of your personality. Each one is a small death. Stacked up, they become a stranger's life.

What's one thing you used to do that you've quietly stopped grieving, and what's one you're still raw about?
