    I started this journey that no one wants to be on 4 months ago. At that time I thought there would never be a day I would ever laugh again. I thought my days would forever be filled with tears. The pain was so sharp. Thank you to this site for letting me see a glimpse of happiness in myself. I’m starting to feel okay. Whatever okay is. I miss her everyday. But the pain is getting easier. To whoever is in that place they feel like they won’t make it out of the pain. You will. At some point it will begin to hurt less. I didn’t believe it when anyone told me that. I’m thankful for smiling a little more and hurting a little less. Thank you to this site.

    skies24, glad to hear you're feeling better, and I agree this site is very helpful. When it comes to loss, experience is a teacher. I thought I understood great loss, a significant other or child, little did I know my understanding was limited. It does get better, although at times still a bit of a roller-coaster.

    My journey started with the loss of mom almost four months ago. It has gotten a little better for me. At first the grief was overwhelming. I was sad and cried a lot. Through pray, talking with my husband and this site, I am not as sad. However I still have my moments. I can relate to your post. Thank you.

    But you are waking up and that's a good thing. You are alive ! Go outside and take some deep breaths. It will get better. Praying for you.

    Good for you! ❤️ Jesus loves me and you this I know !!
     
  14. Yes, Cyanotype, that is EXACTLY how I feel, too. I'm so tired of feeling tired, scared, jittery, worried, anxious, guilty, physically hurting and more. This, to me, can be summed up on that one word you used = pain.

    I never knew that bring on a grief journey could be so solitary. I think if I had gone first my husband would not have been able to survive. I'm barely hanging in there. I wish God would take me in my sleep.
