"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

"It is a blessing to be able to be acknowledged by the family in your grief. Though that won’t necessarily make the grief any easier. Sending you strength and peace."
"The pain does dull, or at least the intensely painful moments become far less frequent. I second the suggestion of seeing a therapist. It was essential for me. Also, it’s been 3 years in February, and I still journal regularly because it helps…"
"Money,
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It does get better and the pain dulls somewhat. It’s been 2.5 years for me, and now I can think of him without despairing, though I still miss him so much. Grieving in secret makes it…"
"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,…"
"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…"
"I’m so sorry CC. Grieving is so hard. Grieving in secret and alone is the worst."
"Michelle,
I wish I had more comforting things to tell you. What I can say is that therapy is helping me, along with a good antidepressant. Grieving in secret is impossible, and I think makes it last longer because there is no community to share it…"
"Emmy, I can imagine what you're feeling. Though our situations are somewhat different, the pain is the same. I'm sorry you're having to go through that. I want him back every day, so I know what you mean."

The Wheels on (My Grief) Bus Go Round and Round...
New Year - 2025!At the start of the year I returned to Thailand for another medical mission. This was my fourth trip for this and I was somewhat ready/prepared for the heightened emotions. Not sure why...no real connection to Jen or her accident, but in the past these trips offer some extended alone time, away from others, away from people that speak the same language and as such seem to bring the thoughts back to the forefront. Strangely, the same levels of emotionality were not there. Not…See More
"Dottie, do you find the anniversary dates to still be as emotionally difficult as the first couple times? I find that some years, it is very fresh and raw, others almost (almost) slip by without fanfare."
"So sorry for you with his passing. That is rough, that there has been so much time between the initial diagnosis and the final moments. On top of the 'normal' grief, you may also start to feel relief, which is likely to add to the…"
