Leon has been gone two months and I have survived life without him. Not sure whether to celebrate or cry! I celebrate that I did not give in and follow him though so many times I wanted to! I miss him terribly and wish this was an anniversary I never had to live with. I am starting to think normally again- of course it is a new normal~ I appreciate the support on this site! I don't feel like I am crazy anymore:)

I'm realizing that even though I too feel like I'm crazy during this time (I lost my husband on October 29, 2014), actually having a "crazy" reaction to a loss so devastating is actually normal. What happened to our loved ones is the crazy part. I lost my darling in a sudden and completely unexpected way and he was only 51. Nothing prepares you for this (even previous losses of other loved ones in your life). So the only crazy part is that they are gone. How we cope and move on in our own way is not crazy. Best wishes to you.

Thank you, emastin, for posting this. I'm not quite to 1 month yet. And it is nice to know, from the experience of others, that normal is something I can look forward to -- and not that far into the future.

Thanks for your post, 2 months, I'm at 2 weeks...I so want normal.. I so want to look forward to each day not drudge through it. I think the 1st year is the hardest, each day is a reminder of what I would have been doing with Ray. I wake up at 2:30 each morning thinking of him. That's when he'd put more wood on the fire. Now I get up and do it alone..SPRING will be here soon, he'd fish all the time, I promised him this year when he was better I'd go with him more. That made him so happy..

I will be 2 months on 2/17. Just when I think it's getting easier a wave hits me. I am either hysterical or have anxiety. Also have some scary dreams.
