Guest running with scissors Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 At five years. I guess I am beyond at some point. But... I still miss my husband so much. I haven't dated, nor do I think I can, but my life is moving along, lonely at times though. One day at a time, life goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mawidow Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 This experience totally defies categorization. I'm glad you posted and I am sending support. Whatever we feel, whenever it is in the timeline, is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathyr Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yes, unfortunately life will never be the same, but hopefully things will look up soon and even become enjoyable. Sending big hugs and support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHeart2 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 At almost 2.5 yrs me too. I love your nickname! I feel like I'm doing that these days. Not be careless just can't make a decision for the life of me. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadiangirl Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 With you, RWS, at 21 mos. Expect to be right where you are in 3+ years, and I am fine with that. One day at a time. We've got this mindfulness/living in the present thing, totally. ((runningwithscissors)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IfIonlycould Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I think I moved into the beyond active grieving forum around 3 years on the old board but was no where near beyond ACTIVE grieving, it has been a long process for me, at seven years I finally feel like I am beyong active grieving. I really, truly have accepted that this is indeed my life to live and I am actively pursuing it. Up until this year I was still actively grieving my old life as his wife. Welcome to the board.

Catnip Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yes, and it's been 8 years for me. So if this is not "active" grieving, is it "passive" grieving? 'Cuz I still am, cuz he's still gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest running with scissors Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm sorry to see we all feel the same. I feel hopeful that just getting up everyday I will one day notice I've progressed. But I still feel stuck,, like I"m stuck in mud or something, so hard to drag myself forward. running with scissors almost seems like I'm getting somewhere at a fast pace, but scared of falling, I don't know, I'm confused, and scared and lonely but don't know how to "move on" . I hate that term, "move on" I have been moving forward for five years but feel like I'm in the same place, just dealing a little better. Maybe my name should be running in mud Thanks everyone for understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenHeart2 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hey Running in Mud, I'm right there beside you! Let's pick each other up when we fall! Wish we could. Hang in there! Hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
