It's been a month since Matt died. So many things have changed. I sometimes feel as though I no longer have control over my life. That I'm just floating around trying to make sense of everything.
Trinity has really started to miss her daddy. She's having trouble concentrating in school and she has had more moments of crying or questioning "why". I am really looking forward to the grief support group for her on the 6th! I think it will help her learn to cope with her feelings and help her with the grieving process.
I'm thinking of looking for a group for myself. But most of the ones I've found are centered in Sun City, a retirement community. I concern is that most of the people there will be much older than I. Which wouldn't be a problem, except that I'd really like to connect with some people my age who have experienced a devastating loss.
Meanwhile, I'm going to try to keep busy with my daughter and my work. With time we'll find our new "normal".

sigh A month is no time at all You have lost control in many ways . Its been 6 months since I lost
my only love of 46 years. He saved me from ruin when I was 20 he was a part of me I cry almost every night. I pray somehow you find peace I have not done so yet at 6 months I do not feel like the same woman . Living with seniors may not be best idea for you Take your time to decide I can not make any life changing decisions yet Its way too soon

"Welcome to the group.  I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too.  Reading through your story really touched a chord with me.  Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"
