First off, I’m truly sorry for your loss. I also lost my husband of nearly 25 years on August 7, 2018.
I think of him and miss him every day. And
I doubt that will change for me. Some days
are ok and some days are devastating.
Everyone’s way of grieving is different.
For me, it comes in waves. I am lucky
enough that I am usually home alone
when it happens. I’m not going to tell
you what didn’t work for me because we are all different. But here’s what helped me a lot. If you
have children, they can be a source of support
but I try not to burden them too much as they
have lost their Father. All my boys, who are
adults, are still grieving also so I try not
to overburden them. A good friend gave
me a book called “Widow to widow” by
Genevieve Davis Ginsburg. It’s in chapters for different sections of your life and you read what
you need at the moment. It’s $9.99 on Amazon.
It has helped me a lot. You also need to find something to do that will keep your brain
occupied. For me, that is the Rock Forum on
AARP. I can use my love of music in a positive
way and it gives me something to do when
I’m feeling down. No one can see you
cry when you’re on there. I wish you all the
best during your journey. It’s a journey that
none of us are ever prepared to take 😢🙏
