Evenings are generally easier for me,  tonight, oddly, no exception.  I wonder if I really do just emotionally exhaust myself by this time and become numb.  

My thoughts of my wife seem to be restrained, my mind can go other places right now.  I need to learn feel this way more of the day.

I was quite a mess until I spoke with the therapist today.  It was just a conversation, I did most of the talking, yet that was the turning point of the day.  After that much less emotional.

Still sad, but more functional at the moment.

Mark,

That is good the counsel will help because you need to talk about your loss. You need to write about it. We have to get this off of our chest. Keeping things bottled up is not good. I wish you more minutes or hours and then maybe days of peace and calm. I still cry ever day since I lost Mike and that's been 2 1/2 months. I know we all grieve differently but I'm beginning to wonder it is normal. This journey will be okay one day and then bam it comes crashing back. You will have good days, bad days and worse days...but hopefully eventually more good days than bad as time moves on. So sorry for your loss.
Wishing you peace and healing today.
Valerie

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
