Teresa in MO Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Well, I made it through the wedding week and the wedding pretty calmly. I was able to get more sleep by taking one Zzquill every night. Whenever I would start to feel overly stressed, I truly felt my dh's presence and could hear him tell me, "you can do this, do it for our daughter." Definitely a busy, busy week. At one point my family room resembled a floral shop, as my dd did her own flowers. There were a few times during the wedding where there were a few tears, but tears at weddings are somewhat normal. The brother/daughter dance at the reception in honor of my dh was hard. My daughter did great, but the rest of us were in tears watching the slideshow of pictures with both of them in them. I took them to the airport this morning and they are off to a honeymoon in Hawaii. I have alot of cleaning up to do today and lesson plans to make for the rest of our school year. Keeping busy helps me. I have to learn how to handle stress, as my body goes into a fight or flight mode and physical symptoms start. I am going to start grief counseling. Thanks everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. I am going to try and attach a picture. I have never done this, so hope it works. 49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grief counseling should help with coping mechanisms and reassure you that how you feel is normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this would be one of the most difficult things following the loss of a spouse. :( ((Hugs)) They look wonderful and your daughter is beautiful - she has AMAZING eyes, they are green, yes? (i am partial to green.) ;) I am so proud of you for getting through this - I just can't imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
