grief is a very hard life lesson. However, taking an active part in your healing process with grief is important first step. I see you have alot of pictures of your sheep you could turn them into collages and hang them up in your home or single photos. they don't have to be perfect as you want the essence of their individual personality to shine through the photographs. Another way is to make a picture book to explain what it is like to be a shepherdess and have a lamb/goat farm

I am so very sorry. I find grief sneaks up on me when I least expect it. It doesn't get easier - just maybe longer between bouts. Hugs from one old shepherdess to another. Lighting a candle for you and your friends.

My heart is breaking for all your losses lately. You are still in my prayers. Crying helps, I was told that stress hormones are released from our body in our tears, I always feel better after a good cry, now I know why.
