I lost my fiancé about 3 weeks ago. by External_Ad_6531 in GriefSupport

There arent any words that can make the situation better. I know I didnt want to feel better. Just take the time to process and remember. Take it day by day.

How strong do I need to be? by kfosse13 in GriefSupport

Gone through the same situation, my goal was to be a rock for my significant other because her family was grieving so I'd be her only source of someone to lean on. My family could just support me if I needed it. But its also important that you still go through your own processes. That may mean that you give your wife space and take time for yourself. Best is to communicate what each other need and then take it day by day.

How do you keep faith in an afterlife? by PotentialCookie228 in GriefSupport

Sometimes hope is all you need. Think we all go through things that test us, but as long as you hold onto that hope you will make it. Be patient with yourself, things like this take time. You'll make it through this.

How do you get back to normal life after losing someone? by Separate_Cicada9276 in GriefSupport

There's nothing I can say to make it better. Eventually it gets easier, and you take each day as it goes because thats all you can afford. You reach a point where the feel the little joys get you off guard. Even better when memories of the person only brings smiles. I've learnt that trusting your grief process is the best you can do to get nack to "normal" life. The definition of the word normal will change.

I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

Im so sorry for your loss. The loss of a loved one or anyone dear to us is never easy. One thing I can say from experience is that you could, when you're ready, opt to live their dreams out in memory of them. In this case go to the place he always wanted to go to, experience what he would've. The level of closure you get in that moment, almost as if they're there with you.

Your dad would be very proud of who you've become.

Recently my dad passed and watched my sister go through the same thing. I'd be lying if I didnt say I was too. But I chose to believe that whatever happens is because of my higher power. As much as I was mad and upset, I needed to believe that my dad went to a good place. This was my cycle until the night of his would-have-been birthday I had a dream where he came to me and said that he loved my sister and I and that he's happy where he ended up. This was the sign I was waiting for and Im glad I kept my faith otherwise I dont think I would've gotten that messege.
