[QUOTE="Steely, post: 137292, member: 3301"] You guys are so amazing. Truthfully, I feel bad posting here so much. I feel like I am just selfish and sucking up all of your time. However, you keep responding to me with such amazing warmth and grace - I will try to keep reaching out without feeling guilty. (Can you tell I suffer from a lot of excess guilt? Sigh.) Anyway. I am, evidently, starting to finally really feel this - which I guess is a sign I will be whole again someday - but yet it so painful it is physically palpable. It is interesting. When difficult child heard about his H dying, he raged. He was so furious with her - unabashedly furious. Truthfully I could only watch him rage - and then look at him - and say I understand - despite him cursing at her, and tossing things around. My response totally stumped him, (he seems to think anger is an exclusive emotion only to him) but the truth of the matter is that we all feel that way when someone dies. The problem is that sometimes, due to societal constraints, we do not act on our true feelings because it seems irreverent. I guess I am rambling. I just thank you all for listening.... PS. I am in counseling - and believe, me - I would be in sad shape if I could not see her every week. But I may look into a grief group. [/QUOTE]
