There's never a "good time" for someone to pass suddenly from your life, especially someone you are so close to and when it happens so unexpectedly.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Reality is very difficult at times like these. Go with your grief. It will help you on this journey. Be with people you care about and who care about you when you can. It helps. Don't be afraid to talk about her and your own feelings. Those who care about you will be happy to support you and listen.

Jim,
Praying for you brother. If you haven't as already, I would suggest studying the 5 stages of grief. While it is difficult to do so, it can help you understand the stage you are in. It can also help you see how normal it is to be in that particular stage.
If you're a book reader I'd suggest:
There are also shorter articles you can read, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc depending on how you prefer to consume media.
This won't remove your grief. But I've found it helpful in understanding my own thoughts, feelings, emotions when experiencing it.

No. This is not a light subject and you’re not funny. You’re sick.

not that it matters,, but my thoughts do on occasion drift to you and Peej and others who have suffered recent losses
I don't have the eloquence or the wisdom to offer any solutions,, I cant even deal with my own shite
but I have offered up a prayer when I think of those hurting

Two of the most powerful words in scripture: “Jesus wept”.
He did it, it’s OK to grieve.

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing part of her story.
To everyone else, "tightening in your chest" is not normal. Dont hesitate to go to ER..

Oh, Jim, how I wish there were easy answers.
RIght now, and for the past five months, a cousin of my husband has been having a bad time that started over a year ago with his wife's death. The cousin has alienated his five siblings, and somehow my husband has contacted with him and they talk for at least an hour every day. It may be helping. But just the reach out matters.
Do you have family or old friends who could use a daily call? You may, but neither you nor they have discovered the need just yet.
Could you stand to volunteer to deliver meals to the home bound? You'd not be expected to be chatty, just there. And from my FIL's acceptance of them, the old grouch really did look forward to seeing someone each day.
When my family were dying, I somehow had an overwhelming feeling that they were still with me. My Mother complained that her mother had been paid back on a load for the first cousin's college years ago, and the money came after my Grandmother died. I looked at Mother and told her "She knows." My Mother looked at me as if she didn't believe me. It didn't bother me, because I KNEW that my Grandmother knew.
