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.
Give voice to your sorrow. Lend words to loneliness. Make heard the depth of your despair and the breaking of your heart. For what remains unspoken can never burst into healing song.
Grieving takes longer than we want it to. Days, months, even years go by and we discover that the shock waves still reverberate in our scarred spirits, that our grieving is still hesitant, still halting, still sparse of those occasions that are healing.
But grief runs by its own clock and as surely as we sometimes mourn with agonizing slowness, we leap through other days, making astonishing strides toward recovery.

Is that even a word? I don't care, it says it all.
There is so much more to that, my voice sometimes is many different things - sharing, volunteering, poetry, and doing upkeep on the cemetery.
We all want and need our voices to be heard... G-

thank you for letting me know I am not going insane... As I am having one of those physically sick, emotionally drained weeks, and beat myself with shame all too often thinking I should not still be having these thoughts, feelings, emotions that find me land locked in my house with no energy or get up and go.
