"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
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…"
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

Hope you are doing well
Thank you for adding me as a friend Irwin. Im sorry we both have reason to be on such a site as this, but at least it is here when we need it right? Hope you are having as ok a day as possible.
Dear Mr. Dresner, I am so very sorry for your loss and especially your pain. I have not had the horrible experience of losing my spouse, however, I have sufferede 2 incredibly difficult losses. My dad died from cancer and 10 months later my mom was brutally murdered in her home. It is incredibly difficult to cope with the greif, trauma, anxiety, and depression that come with a loved ones death. I understand that you don't hear from your children as often as you should and that just breaks my heart. Please feel free to talk to me anytime you would like. Just send me a message and I will answer as quickly as I can. Sincerely, Kandi
We all have those days that we can not conquer the depression but you are doing what any of else can do and find little things that makes a moment in the day worth it.
aww Irwin, I'm sorry for your pain death seem to bring the worst out of ppl sometimes. Do they do marathron's for you power walking? it may be something for you to work towards.
hope your easter is full of sunshine.
Okay, I will check the site out. I bet they are great!
Thanks for the sweet comment. I wish I was better with words... Lyrics are some of my favorite things in this world. Have you post any of your poems? I would love to be able to read some. You family probably misses you as much as you miss them have you thought of making a trip to see them? I know that the greif will still be there but some time we need a change to remember who we still are.
