Still grieving after 1.5 years....what is wrong with me?

Personally speaking, I think grieving for someone very long time that is not a problem, our loved ones passed away, grieving them makes me feel they’re still with me and I’m being loved.

 

hi bob sorry for loss. my wife of 44 yrs pased away jan 15 this year. i am still mess. friends have gone they dont want to hear it i guess. everything i loved musuc drinkin great food companunship over. how /why do i go on ?

 

Firstly, I think we don’t have to feel guilty about grieving the passed ones, it’s someone you loved passed away so it’s normal to not highly functioned as you used to be. We can miss them or having a crying session. Secondly, I think when we grieving enough, we can feel balanced more than we’re not grieving at all. Hope this can help you.

 

I am so sorry for your loss, I also lost my mom suddenly, killed by a drunk driver, on November 18, 2023. I can relate to a responder who said year two was almost harder. Life moves on, people, family, everyone seems to be ok and expecting you to be like you were before the devastation. It’s overwhelming. I also still cry every morning and night, and in between she is always on my mind. There isn’t a moment I don’t want to share something with her, giggle, talk about an issue or just hear or see her. I reach for my phone expecting to see her face, or hear her voice or read a funny meme or listen to her new favorite music. I cuddle her dog, now my dog, every day. We sit in silence together, lean on each other, like I cannot do with the people and family in my life.
I hope you are feeling a little more light each day and know more time has passed.

 

l can so relate to every word you wrote,it’s been a yr and half and l can’t get off this roller coaster.Just when l think l can do it,it smacks me right in the face.
I am sorry for your loss also.
