Good Morning! I lost my soul mate five months ago. We had been together for 14 years. We were each others whole world. We loved doing everything together. The only time we were really apart was when we were working. This is my first time posting and I am a little nervous.
Don’t be nervous reaching out. It’s your ticket to a future. I believe that grief is a permanent part of us after losing our soul mates. It changes shape but it’s always there. It’s part of who you have become. You have to learn out to manage it. I personally like journaling and a good cry relieves stress. I’m not an in person group support person as I feel everyone’s pain, so I stick to this website .It has helped me a lot. It’s 9 1/2 years since my husband died. He had Parkinson’s Disease for 25 years. Watching him deteriorate was excruciating but I adored caring for him . I still have a bulletin board with multiple pictures of him from childhood on to adulthood. It gives me peace. Just open up to suggestions and take as long as you need to actively grieve… after that you will feel it but it won’t rule your life.
