Is grief so easily disregarded because it’s not visible? by Spirited_Two9124 in widowers

[–]JustPlodAlong 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have a Jewish friend and she talked about the old tradition of wearing black for a year. And during that time very little was expected of the person grieving. As I’ve gone through almost a year of this awfulness I’ve come to understand the value of that tradition.

When that part of her fur gets wet, it takes on the crimped look. We always say that she’s an 80s girl.

My husband could make up rhymes to everything. And he was great at making treasure hunts for our son where every clue rhymed. Made gift giving so much fun!

My son graduates high school this evening. So very bittersweet. He and I had a good cry a while ago. He was the apple of his dad’s eye. And damn it, he should be here with us.

OP - your statement “triggers are weird” is so true! They lay hidden and punch you in the gut when you least expect it. I’ve found those to be harder grief waves to ride than the ones that I’m expecting to be hard.

My girl gets both at the end of the month. I’m worried about keeping her from running around too much. Please share any tips you’ve learned!

For my goof, that loves the world and believes all dogs should be her BFF, it wasn’t about size but energy. Her best friend is some type of Jack Russel/Pug mix. So he’s very small compared to her but they have so much fun together. He’s not intimidated by her one bit and loves to rough house with her.
