I read your article "the ways we grieve" and I am sorry to admit that I "grieve through the ego". The fact that my husband is not suffering and his soul is at peace does not seem to give me much comfort because all I really care about right now is that he is gone and not here with me where I want him to be.

Yes, I know it is a selfish and immature way to react. Guilty as charged. Will this change with time? Will I mature emotionally? Does my spiritual maturity really have much to do with this?

You have left me with more questions than answers but maybe that is the point? For right now, the "here and now" is not very appealing.

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
