happi duck Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) I had a long, personal post about crying, feeling hopeless, and grief. I chickened out of sharing and asking for help.

prairiewindmomma Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 It is very, very, very normal to grieve around the 6 month mark, the 1 year mark, and the holidays. How people express their grief varies, but you certainly don't seem to be in the realm of way out there. I'd put a call in to your marriage therapist and see if she can help you, either by talking to you about this particular issue or referring you to someone who can. Hugs to you! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give yourself some compassion and just allow yourself to feel your feelings. It takes as long as it takes and comes in waves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 hun, the number of posts I've written and deleted without posting would fill a book. You get hugs anyway. We don't need to know the details. Cry if you want to. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
