If you read my profile info, you will know that I just lost my partner of 5 years to an Over Doze. She was diagnosed with Bipolar 3 years ago. I feel like maybe it will help if I go to her graveside and leave a letter with everything that I want to tell her.... What do you all think?

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...
sorry for your loss.
I think it is a good idea to write a letter.
My first husband died of a cocaine overdose when I was 23, he was 26 ( He had been treated for addiction, but I strongly suspect he was bipolar. We had a 13 month old daugher. I was young, and no one I knew who was anywhere near my age had been through anything like it. It was so lonely, I missed him terribly.
For months, I had to bring a little photo album around with me. I needed it to remind myself that this was real, to show people...
I did one other really useful thing, I kept a journal about what I was going through. My journal entries where really written to him.
Years later, it is still moving to me to read those entries. It is interesting to see how, over time, I can see my progress, initially anger, despair, denial, resentment, slowly, acceptance, and then finally moving on and feeling it was OK to still be here, to be alive, and live. It was what he would have wanted me to do.
So do write a letter. Write one every day if you need to.
whenever i want to talk to my loved ones, i just think it.
but ive also sent messages in bottles out to sea, and tied notes to balloons.
but you thinking it will let her know.
