To all who reached out Thank you.... I'm just in a really bad space! It's just that after a certain period of time people expect you to get over it and for me I will never get over my Husbands death, he was my life and now life has changed and it will never be the same and that sucks, really sucks! more importantly there's not a damn thing I can do about it! I wish you all peace in your journey! Blessings to all!

It sucks IT really sucks I am starting to say when I get really down and saddest that I can not pick up: there is nothing I can do to change it what do I want for me? I changed two bedrooms around as seeing what was I could not go back there. I sleep on my couch, the back of the couch gives me comfort or something. I hear things up front with the rooms in back I kept waking up hearing things, now I do not.
I moved my dining room around, pictures on walls, to start saying
"This is my home what do I WANT"

The last thing you need to think about is what other people expect. That's their problem. We all heal in our own way at our own pace. We also have set backs at different times. Just do what you can as you are able. God bless. sheryl

Your loss is painful, be patient with yourself and take the time you need to adjust. It will not be an overnight process. Walk to the beat of your own drummer, not to what others expect you to do. I think we each experience our loss and recovery path as we need to. I lost my husband 3 weeks ago today; missing him and all the feelings that surround that are very, very real and hard to deal with at times. Sometimes it is hour by hour for me, some days are easier than others. Being busy seems to help at times, but just allowing the feelings to surface and rolling with the punches seems to be a necessary part of this process for me too. I'm glad this site is here for all of us to share as we try to make sense of where we've been, where we are now; and where we're headed. God Bless you.
