Get Help!!!
I can still remember and I can still feel it, deep in my gut, how hard it was to go on after Mike died.
Until I hired my coach who was my main source of support and who eventually became my friend, I was alone. I am so grateful I found him. I cannot imagine walking this walk by myself.
Because that is what it feels like, once he is gone. The isolation of grief is compounded by each relationship, each friend who can not understand.
I wondered.
- Will I ever sleep soundly again?
- Will I laugh again?
- Will I look at a sunset and feel joy again?
- Will I ever again be happy at weddings?
- Will I ever want to cook a good meal?
- Will I be genuinely happy at Anneke’s milestones? Or will I always think about who is missing?
- Will the sun make me happy?
- Will rain on my face feel like rain instead of tears?
- And when I asked my friends, I did not trust their answers.
Please. Ask. For. Help.
Ask for help from me, therapists, clergy, friends, other widows…
This is too hard and it takes too long to go it alone. It amazes me, even after doing this work for 8 years, how many men and women deprive themselves of help.
Isolation is bad for the heart and for the soul.
Call or email me for a sample coaching session. It is free.
