People sometimes think i am matter of fact, or i have no compassion, not really bothered etc even when my hubby died, maybe with a comment or an action on my part. This isnt me deep down. i write down the names of everyone i know etc when they die and after going through my password book and other info, i have discovered that in the last twenty years, 85 people i know or have been friends with have died.
so at the end of the day when i hear someone has died it dont bother me any more. its sad its got to that stage but i suppose thats how life treats you.
It doesn’t matter what people think of you, only you know how you feel and what’s going on inside.
Some people think I’m tougher than I am, although I cry easily. I really hate people hugging and kissing me (unless they are my other half), but I do it anyway because I’ve been described as cold in the past. This is learned behaviour from when I was a teenager; Dad died and I was left to deal with it alone.
We all deal with grief our own way.
