I am having trouble coping with his loss and getting normal things done, as well as the things I really need to get done like his final arrangements, caring for two dogs and a cat, and living in this old run-down house. He was too sick to do anything for eight months. So took care of him and the pets all by myself. For 3-1/2 months he was in a hospital bed in the living room. For the last 1-1/2 months I had to feed him, clean him, medicate him, and anything else he needed done. Thankfully we had a hospice organization who would send nurses or aides a couple of days a week and who supplied everything that he needed, including the hospital bed, his medications; everything but the baby wipes I used to clean him with. He died, Friday, 01/16/2015 in my arms. Now what do I do? How do I cope?
What has been helping me a little bit is coming here and reaching out to others, journaling, crying when i need to even if i don't want to, doing something everyday here in my apartment, even if its just to wipe down the counters or taking out the trash.
i don't know if this helps you or not....it's just going to take alot of time to begin to heal and move on. We have to keep moving forward with our lives, however, respect your grief and allow yourself to feel it, even tho it hurts like hell.
i've been considering looking for a grief support group...also going to get back into therapy.
