"I am in the middle of selling my house and looking at real estate. How do I know what's best for me and what is just grief based decision making? Does anyone have advice?"

"@feelinglonely,
Of course you still miss him every day! I can so totally relate. When I was at Widowcamp, I picked up a great book called "I'm Grieving As Fast as I Can." I gave several copies to my close friends and family. They said…"

"Has anyone had to deal with self-esteem issues since the passing of their spouse? My husband (passed 11.1.2010) made me a better person. Since he's been gone, I've seen how my own self worth has decreased. When things happen such as the…"

Lynne said… Hi Babsy. I saw your post on being "homesick" and just wanted to tell you that I completely agree and have the exact same set of feelings myself. I keep thinking that there is somewhere that I can go - home, office, friend's house, favorite B&B, daughter's house...somewhere - and feel better there, feel whole again and like myself. But it never happens, of course, because it simply can't at this point. It isn't a place or a group of people or an activity or "things" or anything else..."home" was the feeling of being known, loved, partnered and with my husband - and that is gone for the time being; maybe forever...I don't know. Anyway, your post was beautifully written and resonated strongly with many of us so I wanted to acknowledge that and to thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope that you are doing as well as can possibly be expected. Keep writing! Wishing you all the best, Lynne
