Feb 5th marked 2 months since my husband passed away. I started work on the 4th. I had a rough night coming home on Monday with him not being there to talk about our day. On the 5th it was hard to start the day. As soon as I got home that evening it started again. The emptiness, the loneliness, the uncertainty of everything. Wednesday came and I was fine. It's been a week and i have not cried. Now I'm worried something is wrong. I've been home since Thursday with the flu and thought it would be hard. I read or heard that when a loved one passes they have reached their destiny and completed the plan God had for them. Somehow I found comfort in that and wonder if that is why I havent cried. Like I said I'm worried that something is wrong with me or is this normal???

I remember the first few days back to work were extremely hard for me when I came home. I am doing better, but there are evenings every now and then that are still very hard. My husband has been gone almost 5 months. Somedays I am one hot mess and cry about everything. Other days I am able to smile as I share memories of him. I think every situation is unique and therefore every grief process is unique. Give yourself permission to grieve when and how you need to heal.
Thinking of and praying for you.

@rlealsan Each person travels their own path in grief. Take comfort in what makes sense to you. Remember that it is okay to cry, to feel lonely, just as much as it is to go for periods where you feel lighhearted, laugh, relish the day, etc. All of it is okay, and unique to you. We're here for you.
