Yet Another Wave
Once again I feel a mess. I had a few really good days, and then yesterday I woke up feeling raw and sad. It's still lingering on today. Sometimes I wonder if it will always be like this. Start feeling like my old self and then *Boom* back to feeling like I did the day it happened. I just want to lay on the couch and not move. The thought of showering seems too strenuous. What kind of life is that?
I'm just hanging on to the hope that this feeling will pass as it has in the past. It's just a wave, and every wave will swell and break. Yesterday was more of a crying and painful day and now I just feel more numb.
I'm blessed that I don't have anyone counting on me to be productive, because if I didn't they would be sorely disappointed. When my boyfriend comes home to find me on my bad days he looks scared but offers love and comfort and not accusations and pressure. I don't know what kind of shape I'd be in without him.
I just miss my Mom so much.

Cindi,
I am sorry. I do know that the trauma has so many aftershocks, but they eventually wear thin.
The grief is the other part. We're all here for you.
Peace to you,
MIchael

I had a whole week of inside the wave of pain last week. I am really glad your bf knows how to offer you comfort and allow you to just be you. You already know this wave will pass but in the meantime it sure sucks doesnt it? Hope you feel more in calm waters soon.

"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
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
