I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

Today is my wife's Memorial Mass
I want to speak. To get up there and tell everybody how perfect she was.
To share the story of our lives.
But not only does this church her mother chose frown on eulogies, I don't know if I can hold it together to speak.
I feel moments from a panic attack.
I want everyone to know howmuch we loved each other. I want to honor my wife's memory.
I just don't know if I can do it.

My kids each wrote something and were able to say it in front of a big audience, I think because they were still in shock. I wrote down what I would like to say and had the Rabbi read it for me, because there was no way I could do it. I took Ativan just to get through it without passing out. I have no help or support of visits from 99% of the people who came to the funeral. So, just do whatever makes you feel ok, Your wife knows all of your feelings and love, and other people don't matter.

Jason,
I hear you! There is no way I could have held together to speak at my Sweetheart's memorial service. The Catholic church also frowned on eulogies. I wrote what I wanted to say, printed copies, and placed them inside the programs that I had printed.
Do what you can. Don't worry about doing any more. No one there is hurting like you are hurting.
Prayer to you Jason.

It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
A Return to GriefShare and a Crisis of Identity
So I found myself headed back to the GriefShare support group last Monday. I was actually considering stopping my attending. Not because anything has been solved or fixed or resolved, but because things had settled down, and my problems have moved onto other issues. Then on a random scroll down Facebook lane, I see a posting from Jen's sister, Dallas, that her oldest daughter, Brooklyn, had been killed in Omaha a few days past. This tore me up. This family has endured more pain than any…See More
