I am doing a test post for this caregiver site, since I had trouble yesterday with posting the photo and title.
Will do a “real” post when I iron out the kinks.
Feel free to read any prior posts you may have missed.
I would still like to hear from you, the readers, as to what helped you the most in coping and dealing with grief!

Talking about it and my love. Crying it out. Letting people love on me and talk about my loved one. Appreciating the beauty when it came and I could see it. The only thing I would not have done so quickly, was to give away so much so soon. And I would have found out more about interring his ashes, something I am still going to do. One great thing was that my girls and family made sure I was not alone. Someone was with me most of the time and the month later my special aunt passed away and they made sure I got back to Va, in the middle of winter. While I was there I was able to have the memories with me of that being home to us and saw many friends and shared memories while I was there for two months. Today two years later, I can remember without that full on grief. I watch my brother going through his own grief now in an empty house with no one who stops by. His son lives to far to make it home frequently and if he sees anyone he goes to them…her children have very little to say as far as coming to him. He is making himself get out to visit with others now.
