Relief From Grief

This must be so hard. I lost my mother 18 months ago but she was 104 so it is nothing like what you must be going through. Don't forget Dave wouldn't want you to be unhappy for too long. He'd want you to try to find something to be a bit happy about. Perhaps the garden beds will help. I hope so.

When I feel grief I cry too. I think it is nature's way of relieving the pain and even the anger that comes when something happens against our will or happiness. There is pleasure in gardening, it will occupy your hands but you need to find something to occupy your mind too. A new interest, perhaps.

First let me offer condolences, I can't even imagine how hard this has been for you. I retreat into myself when I am grieving but this level of grief I haven't encountered yet. I have never gotten over having a stillborn baby losing my partner of 50 years is more than I can even think about. I am sure i would get comfort from my children and grands and friends.

I'm sorry for your loss. Grief takes a lot out of our bodies, and so does the work that you've described. Don't overdo it.

So sorry that you lost him. I can't imagine how hard it is, though I know that many here have lost loved ones.

For me I try to keep busy but that doesn't always work. Just take it day by day. My prayers are with you in the days ahead. Have a blessed day

I'm sure Dave would want you to be strong.

It is really hard to forget about someone so dear to you. I hope you can get over it over time. Yes, I saw your posts on FB about Dave.
