  1. I could very much relate to the Sunday syndrome. I become very much emotionally displaced and depressed on Sundays. There is literally little to do as compared to other days of the week. Most folks are with their spouses; there is so much one can do to make use of the day such as reading the Sunday Newspaper (NY Times), watching the last round of gold on TV or watching the political shows as well. Navigating the web, posting, emailing, take up the rest of the time. My firm opinion is that we individuals can find more sustainable "peace", if we are fortunate to find single friends of either sex to spend this day. As a retiree, Sundays at times, is not so different as the other days of week as well. I used to look forward to the weekends when I was employed. Perhaps, I had to do chores around the house. My adult children and grandchildren are doing their own thing, so as to speak, and while they call, it does not fulfill the emptiness of this day. Please, do not recommend the usual as single, widowers/widow groups, church, library visits, etc, since I have tried them all and then some. I am hopeful of meeting a friend and or someone on this blog where I can commiserate with and or take advantage of ventilating as I am now doing, to ward off this void that I have experienced for all too long!
  2. Unfortunately, I have been grieving for almost 10 years without coming to terms with my wife's passing. My feeling is that one adjusts to the passing which permits one to continue with life's chores or demands but for me, I have to struggle each day and the process of acceptance remains unresolved.
  3. Thank you, Kay! I will continue with this site regardless!
  4. I have tried individual counseling with minimal effectiveness. Yes, guilt is disabling. In the beginning, I was able to manage by working at my profession. Since retiring, hobbies (minimal) do little for me. My thoughts remain self defeating. I will try a group shortly and see whether it could be helpful. Wish me luck.
  5. The issue for me is the emptiness I feel that no amount of support appears able to fulfill. I sort of look about and imagine myself and my deceased wife taking part in the activity of the day but then reality sets in and the loneliness sets in. Ten years of existence without my wife leaves me empty and angry and envious of what might have been. Guilt pervades because I could have been more involved with my wife. I took her for granted and feel retribution for it.
  6. Thank you Kathy! I will be joining a grief group shortly and I expect it to help me. I believe that talking or speaking to one's feelings of loss would be therapeutic. Thanks, again!
  7. It is amazing that I continue to experience a great sense of loss after losing my wife almost 10 years ago. I believe this has been intensified by losing my beloved sister a bit over two years ago. I experience various aches and pains as well insomnia. I do have real medical issues as well but I do believe my medical problems are embolden by my grief.
