To blog or not to blog?

Thank you for all your kind comments on my blog post yesterday.  It's very comforting to hear from others - even complete strangers - at such a time of sadness and loss.

At the moment I am simply concentrating on getting through one day, one task at a time.

I have been thinking about my blog and and about all the things I love to write about - my family, my home, cooking and baking, gluten-free living, saving money... and for now I can't imagine ever feeling able to take pleasure from those simple things again.  I am hoping that with time, these things will filter back into my routine and bring me enjoyment once more.

So what I am deliberating is whether to hang off from blogging until my posts reflect all the "normal" things I've written about in the past - I'm assuming that readers of my blog follow because they enjoy reading about the things I write about - or whether to continue writing through this time of deep sorrow and grief.  I wonder if writing about how I am feeling, and the challenges I face each day, might be helpful to me in some way?  I have never experienced pain and grief at this level before.  However, I do not want to put off my readers by writing about such sad times and feelings of despair and loss.

Any thoughts?

Best Wishes
Debbie
