I was thinking about a support group but indecisive. Spoke to the hospital counselor and said I was too emotonal??? Today makes a month already and has been a hard day. Just when I think I'm ok, I crumble. People tell me hes in a better place and pain free...I understand that and am grateful but it doesnt make it better as I miss him, i miss us every minute of the day. So heartbroken.

@rlealsan There are different types of support groups. You owe it to yourself to find whatever will work for you. Some have brought up journaling, or talk therapy, but you'll know what is best. Be gentle on yourself.

I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer 6 months ago , the best thing I have ever done was to join a bereavement group at our local hospice , don't worry about crying , someone always does when we meet , I have received so much support from those people who have become my friends , unless one has lost a spouse it's almost impossible for anyone to relate to how lost and heartbroken we feel .

I’m so sorry the hospital counselor was so rude and unsupportive. Of course you’re emotional, I’d be concerned if you weren’t!! You can’t time stamp when your grief will be easier. You take all the time you need! I’m not going to tell you to get out more or read a book, that insults me somehow. What I will say is reach out to your family and friends. Perhaps make a scrapbook of all your happy memories. We’re all here for you!
