when I was young I was brought up Catholic I have strong believe in Heaven and Hell as the years went by and I got older I started to have my doubts and then I guess last 7 years with Mary being so sick I just totally turn my back on God if there really is a god I think they believe I have now is that your spirit or energy whatever goes on but just to like another plane and that this spirit lives but as far as the heaven and hell singing and the almighty power I just have no more belief in that but if you did have or do have faced you may want to search your soul in yourself because I would never try to put my beliefs on to anybody

Is always a really hard time a day for me. When I get home from work. And he's not here anymore. I cry a lot at this time. I mean I cry almost all the time it seems – in the morning when I wake up, on the way to work, on the way home from work, when I make dinner and when I go to bed. And also when I hear a particular song or have a memory creep up on me at work. It's consuming really. And it seems like I'm constantly searching and begging for an answer so that I can feel better.

I have a question for all you folks. Does anyone truly believe in the afterlife? Be it heaven or whatever else someone might believe? And how far do you go with that? Do you believe that your loved one's soul/spirit is right there with you in the same room? Or do you believe that you won't be with that person until you die? Or do you feel that there is no after life and that we just return to the earth from whence we came? I am struggling and hurting so deeply with the loss of my Mark- that I am really questioning a lot of what I used to believe. Or At least what I was taught when I was growing up- to believe.

I am unable to work because taking care of my daddy is a full time job. I already feel better though because now I don't feel quite so lonely.

I am fortunate to have found a great grief therapist, but yes, after two months, that $70 an hour I pay adds up. I've had to bite the bullet and do it because if I hadn't, I probably would not have moved from my bed in two months. I almost certainly wouldn't be as far along the path to recovery as I am.

Comment by Dianne M. on March 31, 2015 at 10:01am

I am fortunate that the counselor I have is older and a widow and the facilitator of the grief groups are both widows and they get it and have said there is NO time limit on grief. It lasts as long as it lasts.

I will never forget my husband. He will always be in my heart and soul. There is but a few minutes a day where i dont think about him. But I cant let it paralyze me like it has been doing. I have things that must be done and now there is NO ONE but me to do them so I have to march on whether I want to or not.

John I can truly relate to you in a lot of respects when I met Mary I was a recording engineer in the Rock and Roll business and drugs and booze were a good way to pass those long days in the studio the night I moved in with her I put everything down and if it wasn't for her I don't think I would have made it this far I just miss her so bad not sure what to do from one minute to the next I was sorry if this didn't come out good I have that I have problems so I talk into the phone and I don't fight I don't know what it says have the time

My husband was on hospice and I know that I could go through counseling with them for a year for free. I even know who my counselor would be. She is a sweet,wonderful lady but she has never been through this he'll. She just can't truly understand.

Comment by Dianne M. on March 31, 2015 at 9:33am

I am doing mine through hospice and it is free. I dont think there is a time limit on it.

Private counseling is expensive even with insurance so I see the problem.

I looked around and found this free so maybe there is something out there somewhere.

Comment by George H on March 31, 2015 at 9:32am
one of the problems I find was counseling there's some of the counselors are so young they haven't even got started yet and that college book learning cycle nonsense that some of them throw out doesn't do a damn thing for me other than counselors in this type of situation should have real world experience so that they have some idea of what we're talking about
Comment by George H on March 31, 2015 at 9:30am
yes sandy grief counseling is expensive I couldn't afford it either I'm getting mine for hospice right now and my doctor has a counselor that I can talk to you on the phone hospice only last 30 days once a week so like I said its not much help it just to talk for a short time I'm kind of relying on you all also

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
