WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS OF FAITH Community Group
A place where people of faith may freely discuss issues of grief from a faith based perspective.
What a weird day of emotions. Had a good morning with a close friend, coffee and chatting about my late husband - a dear friend to her as well. Had a phone call with another close friend. Messages between my children and me. So you would think I had a good day.......but no! Late afternoon I could feel my mood changing, getting sadder, feeling extremely low and flat and wondering how I will ever get through without Norm in my life.
I know it is early in my grief journey, only 8 weeks today though it seems much longer as with the cancer I felt I had lost him several months earlier, but how do others cope with this plummeting in feelings? It makes me feel physically sick.
I try to draw closer to God when I feel like this but he doesn't seem to hear me, although I know that is not true.
Should I get something for anxiety do you think? Your comments always lift me as someone here always seems to know how I am feeling so I look forward to some replies. K xx
PS. I'm not sure what the "Journal" area of this web site is for.......is it for general writing?
Who soars high in the sky
No more would I hold you back
When you should be allowed to fly.
Oh no my dear, your work is done
Unlike I who must still learn
The lessons that God has for me
I cannot join you until I earn
The place beside you – kept for me.
On graduation day my soul will soar
Free of all life’s pain - and, Oh my love,
I’ll be with you, together once again.
You can show me all the beauty
Of the place you now call home
I shall look child - like, enthralled
At all the light refined spaces and see
How I have lived in darkness all this time
Blind to truth, thinking that I knew it all..
My solid flesh will no longer my prison be
I shall be spirit, light and free, no longer earthbound
But united at last with my God - and with thee.
