Don't grieve alone; 14,000 members and growing

Hi Teresa,
As a bedside hospice volunteer for 8 years I've often seen what you described. You said "I feel like I am stuck in that moment when he took his last breath and haven't even had a chance to grieve." Being stuck at the moment of someone's death a year after it occurred is a part of grieving. I can see how disconcerting it might be to believe nothing has changed in one year. But it probably has in a multitude of ways.
Any significant loss is traumatic, whether it's the death of a loved one or a relationship. What follows is the emotional equivalent of physical shock. And just as in physical shock, the consequences and length of time it lasts are unpredictable. But it sounds as if you're ready to move on--I don't think to grieving (you're there already)--but rather to recovery.
