just finished reading your post. First I am terribly sorry for your loss. I know that words don’t do any justice. I will most definitely say a prayer for you and your family. I lost my wife in June and have often asked why? I will never know the answer to why. I am not sure if you are religious or not but God has helped me tremendously. My advice is to take it one day at a time. In the beginning I often cried out to God and asking him why? I screamed through my tears “God I don’t understand what is going on but I trust you.” You are in the early stages of grief and everyone grieves differently. I know you might not be ready to hear it but I promise you it does get easier. Next week will make 8 months since she passed and I can assure you it feels like yesterday. I will never forget this saying, “ you don’t move on you just move forward” I also joined a grief share group as well and that has helped. If you ever need to talk or anything. Just know that I am here for you and I am sure others are as well. You aren’t alone in this.

Hoova, I can't tell you how much your words just spoke to me and made me sit back up in my chair before I go to bed. I've always said "Your will be done", but accepting that when something like this happens is the hardest thing. I'm not mad at God, I just wish he would've given us one last time to see each other before he took her. I live close to Monroe and haven't had much luck finding grief support groups yet so I'd appreciate all the links and stuff you and anyone else has. Thank you so much for that reply. I really needed to see this before I try to get some rest.

All of you, you are all incredible, caring, benevolent people and you show it every time a poster has something happen like my sister's passing. That is how we can all show love and make our world a kinder one. Thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Pass it on.
