~~A room for those who mourn~~

[NightSpirit]

This is an extremely sensitive subject so I ask all who post here to be mindful of those in mourning and use restraint and respect. Thanks.

Having been a mourner, and still in some aspects, I'm hoping this might be a peaceful place to sit a while and vent if needed. There doesn't always have to be a responding post (please keep that in mind folks), but a place to talk about your missed loved one and how you are coping with your loss.

I'm certain there'll be others in similar positions appreciative of any suggestions where requested, or skills in how you might be managing your grief.

I will begin.....
My husband of nearly 3yrs passed in November 2007. I was blessed with a supportive family, great friends, and an earth angel who is still with me now. Sometimes it feels like only yesterday. Other times it seems so long ago. So many things trigger reminders, and even now after so long, i can have a small set-back. It passes quickly now, but at first I wanted to die.

I also lost a son too long ago to mention. Same grief, different time. I know the one thing that helped me through was my spirituality. It definitely makes a big difference.

Bless
