Hi Char,
I am so proud of you for going to the grief support group. I also did that along with my son and we both found it to be very helpful. The thing I came out of it the most with is it does not cure your grief and pain but does help you learn to cope with it.
The intense pain and hurt will subside but you will always have hurt. They help you through the steps of the grieving process.
I am anxious to hear how you like it. The first night is more like a getting to know you so please give it a chance.
Last week I just came to the third year of losing my Richard and I hurt all day but managed to control myself. I light a white candle at home to remember him by and spoke to him about how much I still love him. When I woke up the next morning I had the strangest thoughts come to my head as though he had spoken to me during the night. It was tried to think of that day now as the day I was no longer tied to the wheelchair. To me it was the first day I could run,and be free to enjoy Arthur now(Arthur was our sheltie dog that we had for almost 16 years-he passed on 16 months before my husband). Plus the other thoughs were about friends I met through here and he must know that one's husband loved the Dallas Cowboys. And anothers's (Judith) loved to play cards. I honestly believe that he wanted me to know he was aware of my pain but for him it was a chance to live whole without pain and now with being able to walk again.
Let me know how the group works for you
Hugs and Love
