"April 27 was a year. I wouldn't say it is surreal, but some times it feels so unreal. As I eat dinner alone and look at a picture of Laura that was taken less than a month before her accident, sometimes I think that she is off…"

"Yup...on the 28th it will be 11 months for me. Can't believe it either. Some days I think I am still in denial. Sending hugs to you and your family."

Words of Grief
People tell me I'm a good writer.People tell me I'm a compelling writer.People tell me that I write in such a way that my words affect them. So why can't I express fully, in a way that makes me feel that *I* understand, how much I hurt and how incredibly devastating it is to be a widow? I look through thesaurus entries: Devastated: anguised, cheerless, dejcected, depressed, despairing, distressed, down, heartbroken, heartsick, heavyhearted, hurting, inconsolable, melancholy, miserable, morose,…See More
momtofourkids (Jane) replied to Jolie.41's discussion Bookworms? What are some books that you've read that have helped you get through your grieving?
"I read just about anything and everything. I've tried reading things on grieving and found it to be too hard.
What I find works best for me is something that takes me away from my life. Gives me a fantasy world for a while..."

10 months today.
It seems so long yet so short... how could our lives have changed so drastically in less than a year??? Forever loved, forever missed, never forgotten. We miss you more and more each day Mark. Your kids are all so amazing. They were blessed to have been raised by you. Not a day goes by that we don't think about you, miss you,…

Without Mark.
Had some moments. Had some tears. Had some sad points.
But I received some beautiful flowers, and got to spend an evening with a friend.
Overall - aside from missing Mark enormously, it was a good day.
I'd have rather had him though. :(

...when I disassociate.
It’s easier to fall asleep when I put my grief into a tiny little box in the furthest recesses of my heart.
It’s easier to relax when my brain isn’t remembering as much about him.
It’s easier to move forward when I’m shut down.
I had a few things today pull the grief out of its box and air it out like all sorts of dirty laundry.
There were many instances of being *forced* to remember.
There were too many moments of “I…

Hope finding WV will bring peace and comfort as you meet folks who know the journey you are on. If you need to talk then let it all out, it's the best way I know to keep from staying on the emotional roller coaster. Keep Smiling...

LaurieR said… Hello momtofourkids. I am so sorry for your loss. I never really know what to say but welcome to this site. It is so very hard for people who have not lost their significant other to understand what your going through. People here all have lost their love and understand. I am from Saskatchewan. I lost my husband Easter Sunday 2012. The people on this site made my life bearable in those early days. I just want to say that it does get better, slowly, very,very slowly but there is hope. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to help you. I will send you a friend request, if you wish you can accept.
