[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 687828, member: 11832"] Dear Leafy, I remember how hard those first months were. I remember how adrift and lonely I felt. I joined a widow/widowers board for awhile to talk about all those feelings of grief. I will search for it for you. When you lose a close loved one, your whole life changes. In the beginning, all you can see are all the bad changes. After time passes, you will learn that there are also some good changes. Nothing that happens to us is ever all bad or all good. There is also a book called [U]Necessary Losses [/U]by Judith Viorst that helped me to put all the changes in my life into perspective. It's also a great resource for people who have other losses, such as divorce or estrangement. Look for the small joys like a beautiful flower blooming or a small child laughing. Ask friends and family members to spend time with you. Each of those brief moments of peace will be like stepping stones on the path through the grief process. [/QUOTE]
