the tears are needed as they get rid of toxins in your body. They help you release some of the pain (even if it does not feel lit it right now)
You are very early in your journey and it is expected. Be kind to yourself allow the grieving. An extra big virtual hug sent your way XOXO

Hang on to family and friends tight and come here for the solace of connecting with people who "get it". It is very early for you. I NEVER believed it would get better, but it does, but not without many setbacks. In fact I've been in a slump the last few days. You're never alone...remember that

Thank you so much.

(Hugs)

So sorry for your loss. Crying is healing. I still cry every day and in month five. I send you many hugs too. I joined a support group and it helps to share and get comfort, hugs, whatever it takes....

Much peace.

Many hugs to you and well wishes. I have cried so much this week. I am sitting here now w a headache from tears just today. Jeez it seems like I'll never stop crying, each time though farther between the episodes are so much more painful and sharp.
Nine months ago to this day I was planning a memorial. It makes me so tired to think about it.
You aren't alone and tears are healing. You have to let it out don't so like I have done and push the "HOLD" button. I did that for my five kids here at home and it now is showing in my health and the tears come now whenever they want as pushing the "HOLD" button isn't am option anymore.
Wishing you well and peace and comfort

I am in week 8 now and it seems to be getting tougher for me. I spent days in denial, waiting for him to come home, even though I was there when his heart took it's last beat. It just didn't seem real. And sometimes I let myself go back to "denial" just tokeep from a total breakdown. Some days I feel like "I can't do do this" and then others I feel like "I got this" like my son said to me " if you didn't get upset I would wonder about your relationship with him" . I come here where people get it and understand exactly what I'm going through. BIG hug!

Thanks to all of you for your support, it means so much to know you're out there.

Cindy, I, too, cried until I had a headache and felt nauseated ... that sure didn't help.

So today, as soon as my eyed opened, I told myself I was not going to have a repeat of yesterday. I am determined to have a better day.

It's only 10:30 a.m. here, but I'm sure going to try.
I hope you all have a peaceful day.

You may cry for a long time. this is okay and a good release.

I am so sorry for your loss.
Go ahead and cry, tears cannot hurt you, they are cleansing, wishing you peace

It can't be helped, can it? It is just over 2-1/2 months since my husband passed away, and although I don't cry as often and as hard, I still can't really control it. I am so sorry for your loss but I am glad that you found this site - it has helped me so very much. Karen

I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband died 12 weeks ago tomorrow. Sometimes I don't cry at all - and other times- like today - I start crying for no reason at all. I cried all the way to work today. I guess you just have to let happen! Hugs to you and hoping tomorrow is better.

Ahh! Crying! I had boxes of kleenex all around the house! Through the tears I remember once thinking with all these boxes I am buying the company must make a ton of money on me! My nose was red ,bruised, my eyes were hurting from crying, nausea, yep, the whole nine yards you all described. I cried myself to sleep every night for 1 1/2 years. Now it happens randomly (it has been now a little over 2 1/2 years. But I do my "best" crying in the car. I had read somewhere that it is ok to grieve, to cry, etc but that at one point (no one has a "cut off date" for that sorry! Mine was after about 6 months - I was still not eating, not sleeping, not working - what I saw in the mirror was frightening!!!), you have to allocate your crying/down sessions to a specific time. You have to mourn BUT you are here, so you have to LIVE. My car is my best crying place (especially stuck in traffic to go/come from work on the highway). I allow myself to cry, then I compose myself, send him my love and I face the world one more day. At 6 weeks I don't think I would have had the strength even to reach out like you did. Keep crying, there is nothing wrong with that. Driftersoul
