Kathy,

The best online support group I found is "Grief Healing Discussion Groups", my Husband has been gone 5 years and everyday is still hell, this site you on now did not help.

The discussion groups, are they on this web site?

Kathy,

The group I belong to is "Still Mourn Husband after 5 Years" they also have other groups or you can start your own.

Boy do I get this as well!  I know for certain I don't want to be stuck in this place.  I have completed the things that have to be done so what comes next?  Can't have what I want so badly.

People don't get it anymore my need to talk about him.....he is always on my mind....  just trying to think of him without sharing seems to be making those thoughts special to me only and I like that.

Intimacy lost. God! Help me!

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
