7 Months by: James
Hi Yvonne, Well it's been nearly a year for me. I lost my wife March of 2010. My days have been filled with ups and downs. Does it get better? It does get easier to deal with, but I still cry and will find some tune on the radio or a book or something else Teresa liked, and i cry. I miss her so much sometimes. But I realize that she is with God and he is taking care of her so I can take a break. For the last 2 years she was totally disabled due to MS and I was her primary care giver.
I know you have heard it many times, but the grief does get easier. You will always cry at times, but hang in there. The grief will take you where it wants to. Remember we are in this together and I pray for you and all else who have lost a loved one.
The Love Never Dies by: TrishJ
7 hours, 7 days, 7 weeks, 7 months. The love will never die no matter what direction our lives take. 7 years, 77 years? True love is for all eternity. I miss my true love.
7 months for me too by: M Mack
Yvonne,
I am also in the 7 month stage of grief. I feel like it was yesterday that he was so alive. Images in my mind of everything about him are so alive, yet he's gone. The only thing that gets me through is to keep busy. I try to accomplish a little something every day and use prayer for sanity. This is so hard to deal with because in my mind he's still here, somewhere. I know your pain and you must take time to go through this. Only do what you can handle and don't try to rush into anything. Keep writing and working on one breath slow and steady. I hope we find some comfort down the road instead of living with the frustration of wanting what we can't have. My best to you and all of us left here to survive. Prayers and blog hugs....
How did I Love thee let me count the months by:
Yvonne,
I know how it is, First you fall down in tears every Sunday at that time. Then you try to make it though the month but "That" day just pulls you down. I hope that one day we will be able to let that day pass and later realize oh wow Yesterday was.... Until then just hold on to hope. Knowing that many tomorrows down the road you will be o.k. I wish we could jump over grief and join life when we were better. Until then talk to us we will always listen... HH
