Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
Well the Funeral is over and company has left. My daughter left this morning. This will be my first night alone since my husband passed. Already cleared out a lot of the medical supplies and now I need to dispose of all the drugs. Hospice gave me kitty litter for the pills and told me to dump the liquids in a diaper pad so no one will garbage dive for the meds. I will have free grief counseling for one year with hospice. Many mixed emotions. It was a long journey and hard road. I am so sad that he couldnt make it to his 65th birthday. One day shy. hugs Arlene
You do whatever makes you comfortable, if that means cleaning then do it.
Your life will feel like it belongs to someone else for a while......don't fight it. I found if I went with the flow of it it didn't feel quite so "out of body!"
Give yourself lots of wiggle-room!
