In Response To: Other: Lost my wife (joe)

I started this bulletin board when my wife was sick, just before she died, and it has provided a much needed relief since.

There is no right way to mourn. Try not to worry about if you are doing the appropriate thing. Just do what you feel you need. I found that doing things which distracted me from my grief was helpful. There will be times you wish that you could forget your grief, remember that for better or worse you will eventually heal. There will be times when you will feel guilty for enjoying yourself when you think you should still be grieving, for better or worse, that is part of healing.

: Sorry to write it here, but I have been coming here for a long time and it is
: just become a real part of my life. I hurt so bad cause my wife has died.
: She is so good, the best wife in the world and now she is gone. I have
: grief beyond seeing the worh of anything anymore and hurt a lot. This
: place has been here for so many hours and Now I come here and have to say
: how it is for me.

: Just helps to say to this important place how I ache and how mush this place
: has brought to my life while she has been sick.
