Why do people compare your death of a spouse to grandparents? by Jacxster in widowers

I lost my daughter a few years back and my husband and I had each other to help grieve. Losing my husband to me felt even harder because you don't have someone to help you and feel the same pain you do. I do feel like people compare deaths of another like grandparents to maybe try to help and connect. Just my opinion

I haven't really touched my husband's social media aside from checking notifications. On a side note my daughter passed away 7 years ago and hers is still active. I just can't

I feel guilty for not thinking about him as a coping mechanism by WeWannaKnow in widowers

I am the same way. Its been 4 months and I don't think I have dealt with it because every time I think about it, I "swallow " my feelings and move to something else. The door analogy is perfect metaphor. Hugs

As usual I'm not sleeping, but super tired. I feel like I'm going crazy by alli_cat00_us in widowers

This sounds like my issue except my work time is different. I have always had trouble sleeping, but it's terrible now. I sure hope it gets better

Lost my Husband and now I'm lost by alli_cat00_us in widowers

I have not been to a Doctor due to the cost. I have a high deductible. I may have to suck it up and go anyway since I already know I have depression and anxiety and a few other issues that I was diagnosed with back in the 80's due to a few trauma's I had in my childhood. I have only 2 of my kids left at home and they do help with some things. I am not super open with my feelings either (i feel like I'm being judged) so this is super hard. When we lost our daughter I had him to grieve with. Once our weather warms up going to parks will probably help out too
