I appreciate your honesty and article. We all grieve differently and grief has no deadline. You can take as long as you want. Sometimes expressing words only minimize the experience. Folks do not truly know what you are going though or how you feel. Grief in itself, is gratitude for the deceased. It is love with no where to go. Grief support groups may be helpful. Journaling may help. Talking about it may also. Depends on the person. Some grieve while they are living.
I lost my sweetheart Dec 2016 and it was sudden with many unanswered questions. She had eye surgery 6 days before she died. We do not know if they took her off her blood thinner med. And if so did she go back on them, forgot to take them, or as she was suffering a deep depression, chose not to take them and gave up. She passed from a blood clot to the lung.
When you loose someone, you lose many people...as they all were that one person. That person wore many hats and now there are many missing parts to your life. Again thanks and blessings. My prayers are with you.
This is so true. You find yourself crying over some other persons while grieving for another.
People have methods to ease through the journey and anything that helps is good.
Grief is love with nowhere to go- this is a beautiful definition of grief.
I am terribly sorry about your sweetheart's passing. Love with no where to go. That line is going to be in my head all day.
