A Widow Struggles to Cope Pt2
When I wrote about the widow who was struggling to cope we received some wonderful e-mails and also comments. Here is one from Tiffany that I thought I should share with you all
“I felt alone, like I think we all have when we have lost our spouse. I have friends and family close to me, and I still felt alone because I did not have anyone around me that understood what I am going through. The internet has helped with that immensely because you can communicate with people millions of miles away, and there are so many sites out there that can help us through a tragedy like this one. There are also many books to help you through the grieving process, I fund one called “I wasn’t ready to say goodbye” and it helped me understand what I m going through and all the feelings I have had and still have. I know the first instinct is to retract from everything and everyone. It helped me to create a memorial for him online that I and others can visit any time. Also reaching out to others might help, sometimes helping others in turn helps you”
Finding a way of regaining connections be it with family or friends is so key to coming out of the grief cycle, from moving through depression to finding happiness again. No matter how lonely you feel, remember you always have a friend at widows quest.
