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.
Today I was able to do a little more than usual. Of course, I still had crying moments but in the in between time, I actually had some conversations where I laughed. It has only been a month so it actually makes me confused. Up until today, I really did not experience this. I know it will change and be up and down for a long time but I guess I did not think it would be this soon. It's almost as though I know the pain is there but autopilot took over. If I sit and think about it, I know I can bring myself back to despair but for some reason my brain keeps pushing me to distract myself. Sound familiar?
We experience lows, we experience highs, it's all part of our journey now intertwined with grief.
Challenges beset us, but you are beginning to cope, give yourself a pat on the back:-)
We are survivors, trying to find solutions to help us make it thru the day.
Accentuate the positive, a smoother life is ahead.
Each of us have to give ourselves the time needed for acceptance.
Blessings
