Today is Thanksgiving. My husband has been gone for 14 months. I am alone today by choice. I don’t feel up to being around people yet I’m so lonely. I’m only lonely for my husband. It’s hard enough to grieve but worse when other things are piled on top. I’ve developed a back problem that’s very painful. I will be seeing a pain specialist but can’t get in for a few weeks. In the meantime I have to go through this alone. I took care of my husband for over a year during his cancer treatments. It’s sad he’s not here to take care of me. The other thing piled on top of the grief and the back problem is that I live in the US. I’m sure I don’t have to tell anyone how its going here regarding the political situation. It’s awful. So today I’m just feeling the weight of everything and wondering if anyone else can relate. Wishing you all peace.

@DickensMom I am so sorry for what you’re going through. The weight of Grief is more of a painful slow death, how I wish the universe could excuse us from other life challenges.
I am praying you get well.
