HI all,
It's been quite a while since I have been here.....
My husband died 2 years ago. Just as I am thinking that I'm doing okay I am suddenly overcome with extreme grief! I haven't stopped crying for 2 days....it feels as raw as just after he died.
I'm sure this will pass. Just wasn't expecting it and with such intensity.
I want to make changes in my life...moving house for one.......but still feeling like this, is it wise?
Anyone with similar experiences.
Kathy
"Grief is like glitter. You can throw a handful of glitter into the air, but when you try to clean it up, you'll never get it all. Even long after the event, you will still find glitter tucked into corners, it will always be there - somewhere." |
I like this quote. It is so true!!!
Love and hugs Alison xxx
Alison,
What a wonderful way of understanding these waves of extreme grief......even 2 years on. Thankyou. Kathy x
I used to walk around like everything was fine, but deep down, inside my shoe, my sock was sliding off.
Now I walk around and everything is fine.....one day I am going to by new socks with strong elastic......but in the meantime I am learning to stop and and pull my sock up!
