Bereavement

I am sorry for your loss. Reading between the lines, you must have endured overwhelming grief. I think I had grief counseling, but that was a long time ago. I lost my younger brother to a car wreck, and that loss changed me forever, just tor me to shreds. John, my husband, helped me pick up the pieces. I know I read a lot about grief and grieving, for almost 30 years. Then, in a women's magazine, in an article about grief, this lady who had lost her child said words that were magic to me. She said, "Some things are just not acceptable." I needed to know that. I did not have to find a way to accept my brother's death and I finally was able to move away from my loss.

It hasn't been long since John passed and I am pretty numb. I look forward to sleeping. I am keeping the days as unplanned as I can. I am taking a break from my sister, because it is the easiest way to go.

I'll check back on the posts. I want to thank each person who posts, because I know that coming from grief, passing along kindness takes a lot of effort. Thank you.
