You know you're making progress through grief when:
You don't always choke when you say your loved one's name. Tears don't always well up in your eyes when you think of your loved one. The CAUSE of death isn't the emphasis anymore. Memories, for the most part, bring comfort, not pain. You realize your plans don't include your loved one any more. You realize you are someone different. You can forgive yourself for living, when your loved one did not. Your identity is no longer highlighted by the word BEREAVED. You KNOW that even though your loved one died, the love between you can never be destroyed. ************ Darcie Sims, Ph.D. CGC,CHT Grief Inc.

ummmmm.............. and just when do these miracles occur?
When you told me year two would be more difficult, I must admit... as much as I admired you and looked to you for guidance, I didn't fully believe you. Because, how could ANYTHING be worse than all those firsts without my Dad! But, you were right. It is so final .... the blissful numbness wears off to leave just the stark awful truth. And somehow, I am suppose to find a way to carry on alone..... *sigh

Your not alone Nik-key,and neither am I. You hang in there.
Also"With the passing of time,is the healing of grief." Benjamin Franklin said that. I'm sorry that you are still hurting. You can carry on. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Ps.34:18 BF |

Don't put a timeline on your grief: As others have said, "It takes as long as it takes." Your sadness is yours and no one else's. Don't put an arbitrary timeline on how long you feel bad and don't compare your grief with someone else's." Robert Thompson,MD Bereavement Publications, Inc. Living With Loss.
