Why Does It Feel Like It's Getting Worse And Not Better

[kayc]

Cheryl,

I am glad you found this site, please keep coming back. Yes, it does help to get your feelings out and to read what's written.

As to how long? That's different for everyone...but it's not so much that we accept that they're gone and move on, so much as (as Marty once put it) we learn to cope better. For me it took well into my third year to get more used to it...although my life still isn't the same and never will be and I will always miss him and I continue to be lonely. I have learned to live with it somewhat.
