I didn't take any offense, m morgan. We all have different lives. We all just have to live them the best that we can. I hate feeling so lonely, but I would love to have some good alone time.
Sandy- I didn't mean to infer that anyone is going to deal with life events like I am. If I did I am sorry. I have no children so I don't have any close connections. My husband was everything. It's all so surreal. It's like my life went into slow motion and I can't stop the movie.
I don't have a choice. I have to psych myself up for the holidays. Between myself and Mark, we have 6 children and 4 grandchildren. I will laugh when I can, cry when I have to, and leave when I want to. My children are the best. I just wish my siblings would be as understanding.
I will be alone during this weekend. I turned down an offer to go to a Sunday brunch at my niece's house. It's ok. I would rather isolate myself than pretend I want to celebrate. I will probably be alone for many future seasonal events and family events because I can't psych myself enough to participate like i would have in the past. I do not want to be singled out as a downer when that is how I feel but no one wants to acknowledge it.
I will not feel guilty about disappointing others. They will just have to deal with my rejection of their attempts. Only because I know their intention is to have me rejoin their reality which I have no desire to be a part of. I am incapable of desire. My husband took all of it with him.
The pain that follows the death of our beloved is like no other. Nothing can prepare you for the feelings. I never thought I could be like I am. Not in a million years. I thought I was strong. I handled a lot of the financial and other affairs in our life. Now I can barely decide my way out of a cardboard box. Everything is overwhelming. Still. Which is probably why I continue to isolate myself. Exposing myself normally ends up having to have a conversation about my husband and then the triggers send me into a spiral. Too tired. I don't know how long my body will take this kind of stress but I would be fine if it gave up tonight. People who care about me can't imagine how I could think like that but then they aren't where we are. Amazing what a moment in time does to our perspective huh?
Sandy, I am so sorry for what is happening to you all in a cluster. Just losing your husband is way more than one person should have to deal with. I can only wonder why we are having to endure this kind of suffering.
