finding happiness again

Happy Easter!  A time for rebirth and release.  I am working on doing both those things.   
The pain of loosing the little ones still aches every single moment of everyday.  Things that should bother me more- like not getting the funding for Japan (at least for now)- don't. Unfortunately, that bigger pain is making me grumpy and I have been extra bitchy with my family.  Not fair at all to them.  I am trying to learn how to let go of some of this pain and anger.  Each day, things get a little better.  Just breathing becomes easier and the ache while still very much present is not all consuming.  
I keep thinking I should be getting "over" this but then I remind myself that while it feels like a lifetime since this happened its only been a week.  I have barely began to process the grieving.   I do not quite understand why this is so hard for me.  I loved the kids but I know that we did the right thing.  I think it was the fact that I broke promises and feel as though I let them down.  Maybe if we had just had a bit more faith things would have turned out differently?  Or maybe, stepping away was the bigger test of faith.  I don't know.  
I will not let this take over my life.  I am slowly finding happiness in little things again.  I had faith in God/Goddess before why should it be any different now?  It shouldn't but right now, even though i have faith that the right thing was done, I am also angry with God.   I know that I asked to be lead down the path that She/He wanted me to be on but I never imagined it would be this hard.  Silly of me really, since anyone who has given their life over to God usually has the hardest path- the best rewards- but still an extremely hard path.
