I don’t really like to talk about doing good deeds because I really don’t like when people do good things just so they can talk about them. I spend a lot of my time doing volunteer work. I recently decided to give some of it up as I felt the need to spend more time with my family. Loosing my son has made me realize how lucky I am to have my other son and therefore want to spend as much time with him as I can. I have seen so many instances where people let the volunteer work go to their heads and feel like they are entitled. It’s saddening.
I would like to be more involved in the loss community but don’t feel I am quite there yet. I am also not the greatest at talking out loud about my feelings. I am much better at writing them out. Everyday I try and be the best person I can be and do my best to help others when I can. I don’t really feel it necessary to talk about those things. I don’t do them to get any credit for it. I just do it because it is the right thing to do.
