It will be six months for me in a few days, and I still have days of disbelief, anger, regret, sadness. One step at a time. It took me a long time to see that there was still life going on around me. I know that I will never fully heal from this loss, but I still wake up every day, get out of bed, and do my best to keep busy, and stay in contact with family and friends. For a long time, I was afraid to share my memories of him. I thought it would only lead to more pain, but as time has gone on, I find the memories more comforting. I keep a journal. Whenever I feel down and depressed and start to write and let out all those emotions. Or I'll sit and listen to CD's for hours. Anything to get through the moment. Sorry if I'm rambling, but there are many ways to cope with the pain. Somedays I don't fell like coping at all. those are the days I just let it out. A good cry does amazing things for a body. Hang in there.
