​@sbaisch  I’m sorry for the loss of your husband. The feeling of grief can be so overwhelming.

 

     One of the things that comforts me when I feel sadness from missing loved ones is to remember them from the good times and laughter, knowing deep in my soul that they would not want me to remember them with sadness.  Yes, things are totally different here without them.  But then my heart tells me that they would want me to live my life happily, want me to smile and laugh at simple pleasures again.  They’d want me to do activities that make me feel happy.  And that is what gives me the strength to get up and change my path, my mindset, knowing I’m doing something positive for myself…and that they’d be happy and proud of me.
 

     That’s how I continue to do it.  Instead of journey, I call it my way of life.  Living my life to the fullest, honoring those I’ve lost with living my life the way I know in my heart they’d want me to do.  Allowing myself to be happy, and moving one foot in front of the other at a pace that works for me.  The first foot forward leads to more.  It doesn’t mean we miss them any less.    
  You will be ok, when you know that they would want you to be ok.  
Take care.

Dear ​@sbaisch , I am so sorry for your loss!!! Individual Counseling helped me to find a balance while I "tried" to move forward. Other group members found support through their church or family and friends. Volunteering is a great way to get out of your 4 walls while adding some value to your life = helping others. We will ALWAYS miss them but as we take 1 step when we can, we are 1 step "closer" to peace of mind. Grief is a JOURNEY. One we all hate to take, but it is part of living. My cat, Mister keeps "reminding" me he needs to eat = my reason for getting up EACH DAY. If it was NOT for him & my daughter, I would stay in bed 24/7. I promised her dad I would carry on & he is trusting me to do this. But we BOTH miss him EVERY DAY. So glad you stopped by & hope you will AGAIN.

Luv,
