@ihtak46. Hello. This is just a hello and I'm saying a prayer for you. Grief is a unique process for each of us. It's been 3 years and I wear his sweatshirt and his cologne is in my drawer. I spray some on my wrist now and then. I have gone through each and everything you describe. I continue to go through it but I have bits of time when I'm okay. Tiny tiny bits of time. It's our new normal for a while. Until our new normal shifts a little and wobbles, and takes different shapes at different times. I just want to tell you it's okay. Whatever you do, or feel, or think, it's a part of grief. Blessings.

Thanks for writing georgette. Today I needed it. Its been bad enough but today for some reason it was just horrible. I woke up crying and like ‘suddenly’ realized my daughter was gone. She passed June 3. I cried almost all day til I gave myself a terrible headache. Everything today reminded me that she was gone. Everything. I broke down crying all day, husband tried to comfort me but I kept it up. Felt ill, my face hurt! I could NOT believe she was really gone. Am I going to have days like this? It was horrible. I couldn't eat, I just cried! I still cant seem to realize shes gone! Horrible day today.
I dont hear from many people on Mayo Connect. Where do I go so people can write me so we can share stories and seek help from each other. I guess im still unsure how this works.
Thank you.
I cant sleep so thats why im writing now. Its12:30.
