Thank you for this reminder Nicole. I can't help physically anymore. I try to offer hope and a kind word. Or smile. Online groups and forums are a great source of help and hope for reaching out and peace of mind for the day. I also think it's imperative to take good care of oneself. Most posts I've read on this site are from caregivers. Overwhelmed and exhausted. There's not much 24/7 help available when caregiving. Even if you have nurses on an insurance plan, they really are for vitals checks etc. It's the housekeeping, laundry, meals, and quality of life support that is not easy. I found a wash and fold laundry service. For towels, sheets, shirts, jammies etc. Reasonably priced. And made me feel cared for lol in midst of so much sadness and mayhem.

Hi, Nicole, I totally agree with your recommendation to reach out to others, many of whom are struggling with their own situation. This type of interaction started several weeks after my husband died, pretty much by accident when a stranger was so kind to me at a critical time. Then I realized the power of true compassion and sharing and was able to offer him some emotional support as well. It is healthy to do this and has helped me with healing and forgiveness as well as closure on pressing issues. The power of communication and compassion is AWESOME. That is why the Grief Forum has become a second home to me. Thanks everyone. Sue

Just a note to let you know that I am dealing with my loss on a daily basis and there are moments that the recent loss is overwhelming. I am keeping busy with day to day things and my hobbies. My daughters and I talk about the happenings and deal with them from time to time but remember the good times over the bad times which brings comfort to us..Gone but not forgotten is so true...

1 comment (1/3/23) When we dream of our loved ones, treasure those memories. It is like they are still with us. Sometimes I hate waking up! But there are other nights ahead for these SPECIAL dreams to return. Nicole ๐ค๐ค
