Hello @rmftucker,

You are doing well to acknowledge your feelings of grief and aloneness! Expressing these feelings can help you as you adjust to your life without your beloved husband. I'm glad that you are surrounded by a group of supportive people from your family and friends, this is important.

Yes, you will get through this. Keep feeling, keep writing. While this sense of loss will never leave you, it will lessen with time. My mom passed away on Thanksgiving Day and I've attended a grief support group where I've learned to let the feelings of grief flow through me - rather like a breeze through a window or flour through a sieve. It doesn't stay forever but just flows through my current thoughts. As you consider your grief, try to think of it this way and see if it helps.
