Yes, the silence is profound.  I lost my husband suddenly and unexpectedly just before our 27th wedding anniversary.  I stare at his spot on the couch and picture him there all the time.  This morning I am sitting in his spot by the fire - hoping it will snow.  The silence brings such a strange sense of absence and presence.  It is difficult to describe.

I have a senior in high school as well. Senior year photos are coming up soon - not sure how I will deal.  My heart hurts so much and I feel like there are all these arrows that keep piercing it over and over again

Thank you.  I searched Universe because I was thinking this is not the Universe I belong in and this post came up.  Thank you

BambiGrk,

I am so sorry for your loss.  You were robbed.  I am grieving the future that we should have had and feel like a freak/alien because none of my friends or family have experienced this type of loss. Reading some of these posts have helped me feel a little less alone and little less confused.  Thank you for posting.

Thank you or posting. I feel a little bit less crazy

I am sorry for your loss.  I don't know what to do on this forum either - but telling you I am sorry you are going through this (sorry anyone has to go through this) seemed better than doing what I was doing - running around the lonely house screaming "This was not the plan"

Take care of yourself
