Hello from Canada. I am new to this chat room thing so find myself hesitating to get involved and yet I know I need to. I find myself pulling into a shell since my husband passed 3 months ago. He was ill for 2 years. It was a very quick progression with lots of pain. It has been interesting how God has been here to care for us since David's passing, but it does not change the grieving that we have been through in the last 2 years. Yes people are around and have "nice words" but they rarely understand the deepness of the pain. Anyways I guess here I can speak my mind without people really knowing who I am. They say time heals things. At this point it feels like the grief is just intensifying rather then getting better. Somehow I have to emotionally get back on my feet so I can take care of the kids. Prayers are appreciated.
