So sorry to welcome you to our grief site. A brochure that I found very helpful is: When Someone You Love Dies
Under the subheading, Releasing My Grief it states:
Talkingcan be a helpful release. Following the death of all ten of his children, as well as some other personal tragedies, the ancient patriarch Job said: “My soul certainly feels a loathing toward my life. I will give vent to [Hebrew, “loose”] my concern about myself. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul!” (Job 1:2,18, 19;10:1) Job could no longer restrain his concern. He needed to let it loose; he had to “speak.” Similarly, the English dramatist Shakespeare wrote in Macbeth:“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break.”
I have had multiple losses as well and talking has really helped me. I know that we are not friends, but we may turn out to be as we all go through our losses, memories and feelings. Together we can cope. I will listen anytime you need to talk.
