"I'm new here and so happy to find this group. I lost my Soulmate 5 weeks ago today. We knew each other for over 40 years and he was my crutch and fixed every problem for me (very codependent).
Was hoping to get a pinch of his ashes for a…"

"Jo, I’m so sorry. Last year, when I lost my love, I read somewhere that grief is like a ball in a box, and in that box is a pain button. At the beginning of grief, the ball is huge and so the pain button is always getting hit. As time goes on,…"

"Thank you Melissa for your kind words and good energy. I don't wish this pain on anyone."
"Thank you for your support..I had to see a lot of pictures up there in his memorial and I was no where in them. Hearing how his family described him and knowing he was looking for me in April this past April makes me furious at him. Hearing all…"
"I spent months of last year crying in secret, so I know well what you’re feeling. I went to his funeral, where a lot of the pictures in the slideshow were taken by me, but no one in his family knew I existed. I finally sought counseling, which…"
"Thank you Addie...it is. I have to hide from my family I cry in secret when the tears come. We always vowed to be life long friends and I lost that too. I miss just knowing he was a phone call away."
"I’m so sorry CC. Grieving is so hard. Grieving in secret and alone is the worst."

- Thank you Cathy. I have lost quite a few people in my life. But this is the most heartache I have ever felt.Grieving in silence is the hardest thing I've ever done. Our whole relationship was a world wind. Fast and crazy from beginning till end. I love and miss him everyday. Thank you.

Cathy,
Thanks for your kind words. I'm involved with Church and have started a monthly dinner meeting with the widows of my parish. Unfortunately the widowers aren't interested. My problem is I am starved for affection. I won't consider on-line dating until that feeling goes away.

Figuring out how to not allow my grief to be my identity
I think I have known for awhile that my grief is not supposed to be my identity. I think I know that my identity should be defined by the human I have become, despite my loss and my grief. However, trying to figure out who I really am seems to be both a struggle, and it's scary. I feel like I can only identify some of the things that I am and am not. I try to not highlight the things I don't really like about me. I try to focus on the positive things I know I am. But, I spend too much time with…See More

Healthy Grief or Not?
I'm not sure if I am grieving in a positive and healthy way. All I really know for sure is that I miss my family, ...especially my sister, Melissa. Melissa had a way of making me feel important, needed, loved, cared for, special, and she had a way of lighting up a room. I am having difficulty with life in general without her. The world seems so much smaller and darker since she passed. Not near as light-hearted or inviting as before.My sister taught me to be more accepting of people who are…See More
