SC Kansas | Sorry. I lost my wife to a rare cancer after a five year battle. She fought hard. I had a 15 year old daughter when she passed…. Brutal. I had to keep it all together. The farm. The job. Etc. Hang in there. There is no right or wrong answer. One day at a time. Literally. Long term planning is for the naive and lucky ; but I wish them no ill will. I hope their plans work out. I waited just over a year and then got back to living. “Get busy living or get busy dying” was a quote I kept repeating. Time. Some times it’s two steps forward and one step back. Some days it’s one step forward three steps back. Keep busy. A quiet, dark house bothered me horribly. Remarried several years ago and feel incredibly blessed. I don’t get angry or mad much anymore. Patience. New perspective. I now know good days and I know BAD days. There aren’t many bad days anymore. My faith has strengthened and I frankly don’t know how I would have made it without my faith. Looking back I can see his hand on my walk through the valley. At the time; not so much. The stages of grief are well researched and very real. Educating myself in this area helped me. Others? Maybe not so much. Hang in there my brother. | |
