I think you can and should find a way to deal with the loss and move on with your life. We only live once. Make the most of your time rather than dwelling [ Reply | More

Thinking of it that way sounds like a good place to start. You need to give yourself time to heal, and to figure out how to re-engage with the world. [ Reply | More

i've been thinking about this question all day after reading the post this morning about the ds who died. and i don't know. i think especially if you have another dc, you have to go on and make a show of feeling strong until you actually do. if not, i dunno. just grieve for a long time and the feeling will pass. just wait for that. and yeah, get help. i dunno, i'm so sad about that post still.

It happens to people every day. I am not saying it's easy to deal with and move on. But I think with the passage of time, things DO get a little easier. I have a friend who died 2 years ago suddenly and left a dh and 2 dds, one of whom was just 3 months old. I think about what the dh must be dealing with all the time. Luckily, in their case, he is a really capable person and has a giant support system but I am sure it's still very raw and lonely for him at times but I think he really tries to live like you mentioned above - tries to make decisions they way he would have if his wife were still alive as a way to honor her memory. He had 2 dds to think of...I think he's doing a great job. [ Reply | More

DH's sister died in middle school (in an accident). MIL, FIL, and DH have each gone on to live full, meaningful lives -- but they will always carry some grief with them. MIL once told me: "It was a long time ago...you don't get over it, but you move on, you have to." [ Reply | More
