If you look at my profile you will get some background on my loss. Its been nine years now and im just starting to open up and talk. I dont know how to let go. Or if I even want to let go yet. I still have nightmares. My therapist says all of this is normal. But I dont think it is. I just miss her so much. The pain of it all is still so raw.

My best friend died in an automobile accident when we were 18. She had just finished her first year of college. At first there were nightmares. My husband committed suicide in July. I had one "nightmare", then a very dear friend gave me some good advice. He said, the next time when he speaks (in the dream), say: I love you and am releasing you. I haven't had a bad dream since. There is part of me that wants him in my dreams to keep him close. But I (and you) need peace much, much more.

Don't feel badly. While loss of my Mom is much more recent (9 weeks), I don't want to let go either. While I think we eventually have to let go of the "mourning" period - grieving goes on. A lot depends on how close your relationship was to the person. If you feel the therapist is helping, or even a local support group, please continue.

im going to bump this up as I am just starting to talk about it and bits and pieces is the only way I know how.

If bits and pieces is all you can do, so be it. I don't think that any of us totally let go, we just learn to live with the memories, and hope that they are still walking side by side with us, spiritually. Huggs sweetie. Rainbow

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
