Got me thinking...I lost my husband...Great insight. Got me thinking...I lost my husband suddenly over 4 years ago. I’m still devastated. What I’ve noticed as more time passes, the more “considerate” I am. I completely agree that it is from the fear of abandonment. I don’t want the look in their eyes as they think “damn, why is she STILL a complete mess? Must be a crazy one.” I guess I feel like as tired as I am of still hurting so incredibly, everyone must feel even more so. Thanks for putting into words your experience so that I can feel not so alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715378726056215503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-67369940821559910552018-10-17T18:06:17.130-06:002018-10-17T18:06:17.130-06:00This is so spot on.

Today, I reached out to 3 friends/neighbors and my husband's sister. I'm tired of trying this alone and if you don't say something, no one knows. Here my sister-in-law's plans were cancelled and she can go (2 hour drive for her). My only lesson to take away is you never know until you say something, but I'm the people pleaser too and don't want to let anyone know and suffer in silence. stoltzfusjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811969588576214580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-1684262665587119392018-10-17T12:45:10.880-06:002018-10-17T12:45:10.880-06:00A considerate griever.

You always hit the nail on the head for me and I always look forward to anything you write. luvmylabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041579607943768332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410599077591449670.post-87949676135739230282011-10-10T11:15:41.160-06:002011-10-10T11:15:41.160-06:00Dear Cheryl...
