@stepha_ni_ni: Do you know what it feels like to lose someone who meant everything to you? Because losing someone changes you in ways you never see coming. After my husband died I did everything I could just to feel close to him I sat in the dark crying, slept with the blanket he passed with, kept his shirt on the pillow where his head once was. I played football on the TV just to fill the silence. I’d buy his favorite snacks, wear his sweatshirts, replay his voicemails. It was my way of surviving when the world had stopped. Everyone thought I was “handling it well,” but no one saw the nights I broke apart. The truth is grief isn’t something you get over. It’s something you learn to live with. I share my story not because it was easy, but because it was healing. Talking about it made the weight a little lighter and if you’re grieving you deserve that same space. So please stop telling people how to grieve. You don’t live in their pain, their silence, or their love. We all survive differently. #griefjourney #widow #healingafterloss #griefsupport #grief

My dad died 5 weeks ago and I am struggling! The guilt and sadness is overwhelming as I was also his caregiver. I wear his sweater and smell it when I feel anxious…his scent seems to calm me…but I will need to wash it soon and I am feeling so anxious about it! Hugs…everything you said resonated with me!

You’re never prepared for grief. Even after it happens, we don’t get additional coping mechanisms or anything. We just have to survive as we were before but without the person we love most. I’m sorry for your loss ❤

God bless you for your encouragement. I lost my husband 11 months ago and honestly, I feel that he took me with him. I am an empty shell. I don’t get out of my room. I don’t know how to make myself feel better. I miss him so much I used to be strong now I am weak, lost and confused miserable inside broken and I know I’m not the only one like this there’s money out there, and I do rely on Jesus to get me through this.🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’m sorry. My husband passed 7 months ago. I also sleep with the blanket he had when he passed. I have his colognes still and spray them on my pillow when I want to feel close to him. 💔
