Thoughts - thoughts about moving beyond grief
Thoughts - thoughts about moving beyond grief - the grief I fell after losing my wife, my partner, my other half - my better half
Currently I live without a thought for tomorrow - and I am only living from day to day
And I am far from finding ways to get my life back to normal - because I have no idea what is the 'normal' - - all what was 'normal' during the last 11 years is now away - left me - is not existing anymore
More or less in the moment when my my spouse died, the world changed - my world changed - all fall into pieces.
I am in mourning - feeling grief and sorrow at the loss. I feel both physical and emotional pain. Out of the blue I often cry easily and have a hard time ...
- making decisions
- sleeping well in the night
- reminding me to eat - having little interest in food
- concentration on things - All too often I take my mind off things - I divert myself with doing 'stupid things' - e.g I am returning deposit bottles even this could wait
In addition to my grieving, process and dealing with my feelings of the loss, I fell and see the pressure and the need to put my own life back together. This is so crazy.
But I don't want to make any major changes right away. I firmly believe / think that it's a good idea to wait for a while before making big decisions like searching for a new home and moving.
I am far away from the moment that I can go through my wife's clothes and other personal items. And I think there is no rush - I do it slowly and with my own pace.
I try to not forget and I have to remind myself again and again to take care of myself.
That it's OK to excepting and get help from my wife's and my family or even professionals.
I will be open to new experiences. And I am working to not feel guilty if I laugh at a joke or enjoy a visit with a friend.
Even it will be tough time ahead of me - I am adjusting to life without my spouse. - And I know that what my wife would want and expect from me.
