I am so sorry you had a rough couple of days.  I do not have the answer as to when you will feel some relief, all I can offer is to just take one day at a time.  I know that is not much.  Thinking of you.  :engel2:

Martin - life continues on even in our darkest hour. Many times I've felt like screaming out, "World, please slow down while I catch up. Can't you see I'm carrying a heavy load?" :sad1:

Every day stressers that wouldn't ordinarily disturb us become somewhat overwhelming when we're grieving. Know that I understand.
I'm glad you enjoyed the afternoon with your niece!  :icon_flower:

One second at a time, one long, deep breath......

Sending you hugs and my love, :love9:

Love,
Terry

Martin - if there is one thing I have learned is that grief is unique as we are...and "normal" goes out the window.  Be patient with yourself.  We are here for you.

So sorry you had some horrible/rough days.  It's hard and it sucks big time.  

It went both ways for me if I talked about Lou or if someone asked the tears started to pour.  I would just excuse myself and walk away. I remember also just going into my boss's office to talk about something and the tears would flow.  Again I would have to walk away.

Try to say I can't talk about it.  They will understand and if they don't shame on them.  This is about YOU and your grief.

Yes, I've been there you are in this BIG world and feel all alone.  You aren't we will always be here for you.

Sending peace, hugs , hope  :angel11:

Always,

Lisa

I miss you every second of everyday My Love

I know I will see you again

MARTIN,

Feeling ALONE just comes over us. I didn't know what to do either but went through every emotion.

In time it will pass I promise ....

I posted this song awhile back.

I feel so strong about this song. Lean on Us ... We all Lean each other ...
Glee Lean On Me cover Nick Pitera

I miss you every second of everyday My Love

I know I will see you again

I know what it's like to start crying when someone mentions your loved one but look at it like this, isn't it nice that people ask
about her.  Try to take some comfort from that.  Other people cared about her too.

Thank You Sisters,I never thought of it that way I think that might make it a little easier.I had to go to the Social Security office today about the one time payout to help with the expenses,that was hard,I guess because it made feel like"she's not coming back"I hate to admit it, the book I've been reading says I need to tell myself that at least 2 times a day,I;ve been doing that for the past 3 days,I still want to tear up and cry when I say it and that really hurts,but I'm trying to take "Baby Steps"like Lisa said,but it's still hard !!!!That's what I like about this sight,I learn how to take things and do things differently to help myself.

Thanks again Sisters !!

Grief is a very strange process.  It is a long difficult process.  You will come out being a stronger person but it takes time & pain.  Sometimes it is the little things that really hurt, when you least expect it.  It has been 15 months since my husband's death.  The pain has lessened but still hits me at times.   Have you attended any grief groups?  If not, please give them a try.  It can be very helpful!  Going to a counsellor helps me yet. has helped me too.  Hang in there, you can get through this!  Ann

Don't beat yourself up. It takes time. Just when you start feeling better something will remind you of your loss and grief will flare ... all part of the healing process.

Thanks John & Ann,yes I'm going to a counselor,as a matter of a fact I went today,and she is very helpful and reading about grief has also helped me.Your right John I was having a pretty good day today and about 12:00 I got a call from H.R. they needed to see me,they need a DEATH CERTIFICATE to remove my deceased wife from our Health Ins. and that brought the hurt back again,seems like I can't go anywhere any more not even work without someone asking or bringing up the death of my wife,but like all of you have said and my counselor keeps telling me "it will get better in time" I keep telling myself that but it seems like time is standing still!!!

Thanks John !!
Thanks Ann !!
