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.
These last few days have been awful... I know what is looming tomorrow, a trigger. I've been trying to block it out of my mind, but I know it is there. Tomorrow is 3 months and also my first memorial service since Chad passed.
My brother has an addiction that has spiraled out of control again, he was semi-unresponsive in his apartment last weekend and has been in the hospital since. He has been shipped out to a rehab facility in the middle of the state starting today. There has been a lot on my plate, all triggers, and I finally lost it yesterday. Today, on my way back from a meeting with a client, I decided to take the long way to the office.... I sat and enjoyed the beauty of the ocean for a while. Such a healing place, such beauty, I'm guilty of being too busy to just go every once and a while. Can't post the picture here, so its in my profile for those who may need to beam in the sun and salt even just for a moment.

I, too, find the ocean and beach a place of healing and peace, so I encourage you to spend more time there - just for yourself. The things that are keeping you so busy can wait. I haven't been able to even entertain the thought of going back to the ocean yet - it's so entwined with the life we had together that just the thought of it brings me to tears.
What a lovely picture!
not to negate your or any of what we're going through...just take it moment by moment (do as I say - not as I do...another wise saying!!!)
the pic of the ocean is beautiful. it even calms me as a picture!
