The stage of Grief that most of us may fall into, and maybe get stuck in, is the anger stage. 

I have to be honest, I feel frustration more than anger, or maybe the frustration is the anger, and it probably is the stress/distress or frustration/anger from the grief.  Whatever it is, my love for my wife and my mother I know will get me through that phase in a healthy way, and come to think of it, maybe through the entire grief.  I have a little boy to raise on my own, and the last thing that I need is new health conditions brought on by the anger from grief.

Just the health effects from grief itself are real scary!

One thing for sure, I can't even arrive at the concept, much less actually thinking of and lashing out at people on here for their beliefs or something they say about their situation, etc.  We are all grieving and this is for support!  Positive support!! 

Personally, my loving memories of my wife and mom are too heart-warming and loving for me to 'lose it'  with my anger over them dying and not being here anymore.  We all react differently to grief and it's stages, and I understand that.  It's just too self-destructive to me, but if we need to go that way, then we have to, the anger that is.  Anger just implodes our bodies from the inside out.  Just speeding up our limited time here. 

We are all on here for comfort, support and friendship, not to look for an opening to lash out at.

We all live in fear of these days of losing a loved one, and when these days arrive, they are  so different than what we anticipated. 

We live, we laugh, we love, we cry, we suffer, we fear. we grieve, we love more, then we die.  We are all pointed in that direction, don't let your grief blindfold you.

My goal is to learn from what grief has taught me, whether it ever or never passes, and move ahead with my life, laughter, love, crying, suffering, fear, grieving, loving more, and dying.  And I must not forget to check my Credit Score, because obviously that's the most important thing in our lives according to the media!  More proof that the Circus is still in town!

I can't wait to get home from work and hug my little boy and tell him how much I love him.  And how much his Grandma and Mommy are in his heart and they love him still and always will!

Whether there is an afterlife or not, you have to admit there is a mystery in believing or  not believing, when we all know that the love still goes on!

Now, that's what I'm talkin' about!!

Thank you My Friends for Life,
