[QUOTE="Shari, post: 255502, member: 1848"] Linda, *** When my dad passed away, my exMIL told me that grief would overcome me at the strangest of times, completely without triggers. I am so glad she told me that, because it did. *** It could be a beautiful summer day, driving in the car with the windows down, radio up, singing my little heart out, and next thing I know I'm on the shoulder of the road bawling. *** Its been 2 years. It happened a lot that first year. Not so much anymore, but it still happens. I have no idea why, most times there are no triggers, but had she not told me that, I'd have thought myself crazy (well, I am, but I'd have thought I'm crazier than I am). *** I can only fathom your anger. What husband did was selfish and you have every right to be angry at him and his choices and at the disease that so gripped him. Its not fair to you or the tweedles or anyone else. But anger is ok. Allow yourself to be angry. Its conflicting to love and hate someone all at the same time, but its your reality, and its ok. *** Time will ease your pain, tho that's little consolation now. *** Love and hugs and peace. [/QUOTE]
