Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse

It took me 35 years to meet the man that I was destined to marry. On our first year anniversary, I lost him to thyroid cancer. It has been 7 months and at times, it seems like yesterday. He was the best thing that ever happened to me other than my children. I am so angry all the time and I feel that maybe it is a stage of the grief process but I cant make it go away. It has effected my work and personal life both. I tell myself to snap out of it but cant.

Treatments

Crying Too Soon to Tell

Moments when I am alone, I think of time spent with him. Happy times and sad. Alot about the things I regret.

Getting Angry Not Working

I get angry at work alot. When it gets stressful, I have said things that should probably have gotten me fired. I have even stated my desire to quit but cannot afford to quit. I am short temperred with my youngest son also. I try so hard not to be.

Grief Counseling Considering

Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful

Cant sit down for very long. Surprised I have sat at the computer for this long.

Pets Working / Worked

Went out and bought a dachsund after my husband passed. This helped at first. I think it helped my son more than me

Prayer Working / Worked

I dont do enough of this. I pray more to my husband than I do to God

Reading Working / Worked

Read so many books that I never got anything done. This was my escape to another world. Had to put books down to tend to the everyday things I need to

Remembering Working / Worked

I think about him all the time. Most of my conversations include him in some way

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

I have lots of support from family and friends but I dont want to be the depressing one so I dont share my feelings so much anymore with them
