I know exactly how you feel. I met my husband when I was 18. We were together for 18 years, 15 of them married. In the beginning I didn't know how to do anything without him, even though I'm a very independant woman. Now after months of meds and therapy, I'm getting there. Sometimes I have to tell myself that I can do this on my own, and sometimes that just doesn't work. So I sit and grieve, wait for it to pass again, whether it's a day or a week, and then I try to move again. Small steps, an hour at a time.

Today was a good day for me. Tomorrow may not be. I try to remind myself that I need to grieve as much as I need to get on with living. It's all about finding a balance - do only what you have to do to take care of yourself. Bathe, eat, pay the bills. Everything else can wait.

Teny,

I, too, have felt the same feelings. Like I'm watching myself trying to get through life. It's very surreal. Sherry gave you some great advice about how to "get through it" all. One day at a time and do whatever you feel comfortable doing and the heck with the rest. It will get "easier" to cope with as time goes by, but sometimes it takes a long time to feel even slightly "normal" again. As we've said many times on this site, it will never be normal again...you will have a new normal. Hang in there and grieve as much and as long as you need to.

A big hug to you,

Shell

Teny,

The time frame is different for everyone. My Mom passed July 21, 2007. It's gotten better in a lot of ways. It's a different kind of pain now. Take one moment at a time. Cry when you need to cry. Come here to vent. We've all been through the same thing. Counceling is very good. He'll help you to understand that everything your going through is normal. We're all here for you too. I'm sending a special prayer your way.

Missing my Mom,

Trudy
