"It's OK to say you are having a hard time. I have used the same responses and it is better to be honest...you are also being honest with yourself. It is all part of the healing. Things will never be the same, but softer."

"There definitely is that feeling like something is missing when you get in the car and start to leave the house. I ended up making dinner at my parents' home for them and my brother and sis-in-law. It was nice and kept my mind off…"

Hi Kit. So sorry for your loss. It's been one year ago today. I'll be letting people know how year two is. Take care of yourself, don't do anything you don't feel like doing, take as much time for everything you feel you need, avoid people if they don't "get it" and say stupid things.......maybe later you'll be able to regroup with them, identify folks who "do get it" and hang with them. You'll find al kinda support here. Thanks for the friend request! ((((((hugs))))))

Arnie (New Normal) said… So sorry we have to meet this way, I am Arnie from NJ and offer friendship and a ear when needed. I do not write much but love the chat feature so I hope to see you there. My losses are many in short times, a 19 yr old son, a wife of 21-1/2 yrs, a Dad and BF wife all in span of less than 7 months, new and very deep but I have found an amazing place of comfort and healing, this place has been a big part of it. The rest of my "healing" is for private conversations. Just wanted to say Hi and welcome to the club no one wanted to belong to.
Love and hugs for my new friend
