It hasn't been that long since we lost Grace. But it really feels like it was just a dream. At first I couldn't function. I did put on a great act for everyone though. Nobody really knew just how bad I really was. I tried reading but I just couldn't focus enough. My mind would wander and I'd end up reading the same line over and over.
I started reaching out to people on the internet. Online support was all I really had - DailyStrength.com, the grief and loss board on WhatToExpect.com. My husband was there but he wasn't really there. He was just grieving in a different way and couldn't be there for me as I needed. I found a Compassionate Friends group and attending there has been a blessing. Talking to people who understand my loss has really helped me. I guess I really needed to know that I wasn't alone and that someone out there understood me.
Writing has probably been my biggest help. Blogging, journaling, poetry. Being able to write out my feelings - just getting them out of my head. I've found that through my writing I've been able to help others on their path to healing and that helps me in return.
