I hate the word Grief

I too recently was counted as one who faces the loss of a spouse of 50 years. There is no time limit on grief so people who think you should be over it are just plain ignorant. My grief counselor said those who love the most grieve the most. I moved away from my home and friends at the same time so started over. Fortunately I do have a son and his family and they have been my life line but all of us still have that emptiness and loss. Getting through the holidays I’m sure will be very difficult. If you are able maybe you could volunteer someplace. I don’t know your religious background but my pastor recommended Gary Roe and his books have helped a great deal. My prayers are with you as you navigate this awful path.

@roxiesmom13 Thank you for- I will look into the books. I am sorry for your loss too and understand how difficult this time is. You are lucky to have a son but he is suffering the loss too.
I will look into volunteer work but I may just get on a plane and spend a few weeks in the Caribbean- we always liked Antiqua. Who knows what I will do but I don’t think I could stay home
Take care
