You have experienced a great loss and 2 months is still not very long to expect you to stop grieving in your way. You will, as the days go by, have days where you cry less and then some days you get through without crying. We will never, ever be the same after our great losses, but as time progresses we are able to put one foot in front of the other a little easier each day.
I hope you begin to find peace with your loss. I hope you have family to help you get through and if you need to talk to your doctor about what she thinks. Good luck to you.

Crying is very natural in the grief process. My Mom told me once that there wasn't a day that she did not think of her dad, and he had died 50 years ago. I looked at her and could not UNDERSTAND. Now, I do since my beloved Mom is gone. The sadness will ALWAYS BE THERE. Give yourself time to heal! (HUGS) Kristine

Sorry for you loss of your husband I also lost my husband Oct 16th from cancer and I cry daily and can't picture my life without him. Everyone says it gets better I don't see how.
How are you doing now? I know it will not be good through the holidays. Take care of yourself Diane

My Mom died of colon cancer just over a year ago. I am so sorry about your dear husband. I recommend you look into grief counseling, either a group (check with hospices) or one-on-one, or both. As for the crying, do it. Just watch out for dehydration. Tears have a cleansing effect and they release endorphins. Cry, pound on a pillow, get it out. If you are crying at work and its causing problems, you can adapt. Think of him while you are at home and get the tears flowing. This is your way of dealing with the pain and you should not suppress it. This is part of the grief journey. All of us have walked or are walking that road. No two roads are exactly the same, but all of us can relate. The crying will diminish in time. But something else may take its place. Its a good idea to get some help from a group or counselor or both. Again I am so sorry about Bill. God bless. Scott
