Hello Blackbun40. I will be facing what you are facing next monday - by then the funeral will be over and my kids will be back to school and I will be in the house alone. As for not crying - from what I've heard, there are no rules to greiving. I have had very little time alone and so I havnt let go like I probably would have if I had no one else here. I am expecting to erupt as soon as everyone has gone but maybe it wont happen - maybe it just happens gruadually. One thing I do know though - guilt is a waste of time so try not to allow yourself to feel guilty. Best wishes

Hi Bun dont feel guilty - we all grieve at our own pace, in our own way. I would think that maybe part of you is still in denial - and shock.  To be with someone for so long and lose them so quickly is bound to stir up lots of very confusing emotions.  And Clare is right - guilt is one useless emotion.  Its still early days, so one step at a time. I've been thinking of you over Christmas - still am.

Hi Bun,

We all have our own way of grieving. The 2 Ladies

above are right Guilt is a waste of time and is in the past. So although you have a long road ahead. Steve will give you the strength to carry on. All the best for the future, and hope one day your pain will start to ease. Look after yourself and the kids.

Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

It is 8 weeks since Frank died. He was diagnosed on 14 September and died on 8 November. I have experienced many emotions since then. Some days I still can't believe he's gone, other days I know I won't see him again. Also like you some days I feel down and others ok. Ups and downs are all part of the grieving process, so I'm told. Don't beat yourself up if aren't sobbing, you will deal with this in your own way, as we all have to do.

Take care.
