What a beautiful picture Mel.
Linda,
Every single picture just shows such deep embedded love. I look at your pictures and I know that look because I had it too. SO sorry......one day we will be with them again. I HAVE to believe that. morgan
Stacey,
You are doing all the right things. Little steps, each one a victory. Just get through a day and when it is hard get through a day go for an hour.
And you are not crazy, I've had to convince myself and it took awhile but what I feel because my husband died is normal. The crying, the not knowing, the inability to talk to others and much more....its all normal for us. Not crazy. It comes with the territory. And none of us could have possibly imagined what this would have been like before it happened and neither can those who think they are helping us with "solutions". It just comes along when we lose the most important person in our life. Keep writing......it helps.
Appreciate the comments. Being on this site just for a couple of days does make me feel like I am not crazy.
Today I get a call from a cousin wanting to know if I will have to sell my house. I am barely figuring out how to pay the bills due today - much less thinking about tomorrow or any future anything.
I know people mean well - I wonder if I was one of those people in the past just because of the ignorance of losing someone so close to you.
Right now I am just trying to do one important thing a day and give myself kudos. Might be a shower, or paying a bill due now, or cleaning up the kitchen, or fixing dinner for the kids.
Night time is the worst - so quiet and lonely.
Stacy, I know your frustration with others encouraging you to "move on". They mean well, but really can't undrstand - until they go through something like this. I still want to stay home and think about what great memories I have. People are just now realizing that it's OK to ask how I'm coping with Joe's death. (It's been only 16 mos).
One thing I've decided....I will always try to call anyone who's lost the love of their life...on a regular basis (weekly)
I agree, what a beautiful picture Linda.
