Grief

(1/1)

Poly Hive:
Going through it today and for the next while I suppose as the MIL was found gone this morning. Not looking for sympathy, she wanted to go due to pain in her legs. The wife is in a state, and what a strange feeling grief is. Comes in waves. One minute coping the next weeping.

Thank goodness for the dogs.

Time heals all wounds.

Sorry for your bad news (even if you didn't ask for sympathy!)

+1 to you

As above.


I was forced to deal with the details of funeral and stuff when my father died (mother was on holiday and stayed there  ::-) >:( )  - this turned out to be terribly therapeutic as my brother and I spent about a week talking about him to those we were dealing with - this was helpful in dealing with the grief.  I would recommend this maybe if your wife is up to it.


Just a suggestion though, we all deal with it differently.  My thoughts are with you and you wife - tis a horrible thing.

mrcharly-YHT:
I wouldn't say that time heals the wounds of grief at all. The pain just fades into the backgrounds. It's like an injury to a joint; the joint still aches, you just get used to it.

Some aspects of grief ambush you. Having a nice time and feeling happy then stricken with an awful guilt for being happy.
