Im so sorry..for your loss. I learn to smile in pain 😢..don't know if I will ever be the same
I do the same thing. Only way I can cope is to act like I am fine….

@jeffroatenberry- You are carrying a lot right now.
As @naturegirl stated you have been provided with a lot of wonderful words and options to try. I hope you have been able to check out the support groups that have been mentioned by @caregiver33. Finding support and connection with others who have experienced what you have is something that can truly help facilitate healing.
