Renee.  I know the feeling.  I am a teacher.  My girlfriend, and the love of my life died December 19.  It is so hard to cope with life each day.  I had my evaluation my my AP today and his comments were kind of harsh.  I am so annoyed.  Its like no one gets it or cares what I have gone through.  You just have to keep on keeping on.  Its all you can do.  It gets a little easier as the months pass, but its certainly the most difficult ordeal of my life and I have had more than a few. 

If you need anything, let me know.

hi renee,

sorry for your loss. and trust me i have and continue to walk your shoes. and know the feeling of fear for a panic/anxiety attach far too well. i lost my husband 1 year ago, and it still feels so fresh. i still have those days when I wake up, and just feel helpless like nothing its worth me getting up. nothing to look forward to doing.

all i can tell you is to lean on your daughter for support and strenght. that is what i have done with my son, since loosing the love of my life.

 

please feel free to write back.

 

take care,

Amanda

Thank you Amanda.  I am sorry for your loss. I talk to people like yourself who have lost their loved one a year or more and they are still grieving.  That alone gives me anxiety because it makes me feel like this emptiness will never go away.  To think I will still feel lonely in a year from now WOW.  My fiance was only 43 and I am 40 and I keep thinking wow,  I have to live so long without him  provided I make it to a ripe old age. And at this point I don't care. My daughter has been great.  She is what is keeping me going. 

I'm glad you have had the support of your son.  That is a blessing.

Thank you so much for reaching out to me.  I appreciate it and it helps me get through another day.  This is such a great site :)

Take care.
