Something new...
I might have something new to do in the following months, before my Dad passed away I had contact with a staff member from the 'Buddy wanted' project. I recently stopped with my contact 'Johan' from the 'Buddy wanted' project, it was no use, I didn't came a step further with him. Anyway, I will get a new 'contact' the following months, and a aswell a new thing! I will become probably a 'visitor, ' a visitor for people who need more visitors, to say it simply. That was in short, here's the longer explaining...
The friendly home visit project is intended for people who feel lonely. A volunteer can aswell be the lack of their contact break and the help to make new contacts. It is also intended for people who want to share their thoughts and experiences occasionally with someone, and for those who want to tell their story to someone who can listen. The Friendly home visit project is meant to be based on equality, to mean something for each other. This can be anything: a cup of coffee, shopping together, take a walk or just a chat. The project Friendly Home visits are very different. A participant is approximately between 30 and 75 years old and in social isolation hit or threaten to hit herein.
When the staff member told me about this project I was interested, I thought, "Why not?" Though I will be nerves aswell, thoughts are, "Could I really do this?" Ofcource the person who I will visit are strangers at first, scary and eeek! lol. The first time IF I'm gonna do this, someone will come with me to the person who I will visit. I think it a nice project, I think it will be good for me aswell. Seeing other people, communication, I will learn from it aswell. So yeah, I'm ready, (I think)
Today has been okay, gosh, days are going by so fast, last week my Dad passed away, what a terrible day that was. Now he's already buried and my life continued. I rested and took it easy on this Friday, the worries are mostly gone. I was worried last week of what will become of me now when Dad has passed away, I was confused and nervous. Now, I'm more calmer and know ahead that I will be alright, I'm out of worries. I like the rest I planned, and when I feel I like to do this or that, I will. The fun things will come again, I'm sure.
Tomorrow will be a bit of a Dad day, last time I saw Dad was last Wednesday. I will visit Dad's grave tomorrow, I think it will be a nice out for me. I still miss Dad, ofcource. The missing will stay, the missing will get less heavier. Then I can carry it, and give it a place. I loved him so much, I will never forget him. One last thing, I would have thought that Saf (my ex) would have give me condolence, but no! She couldn't have missed the 'it' because of trough my mutual friends. Today she 'liked' my cover photo on my profile page, she couldn't have missed 'it.'
