Another day to struggle through.
At this point I've been awake for about 16 hours. Time drags on and on but it just won't go away. I've walked from room to room, checked email and voicemail messages, answered two phone calls and fed the cats. The TV news is playing in the background. Although all three televisions are tuned to the same station, I couldn't tell you much about what's being reported or even begin to remember what I've eaten.
Over and over friends and relatives suggest that I buy clothes, join clubs or plan a trip. I'm sure they mean well. Maybe someday I'll want to do all those things, but not now. The hurt is still too new. The future seems empty, long and overwhelming. The tears flow freely.
Another day is almost over. Maybe tonight I'll sleep.

Nothing will ever be the same, but know that we are here to help in any way we can.
Time DOES drag on initially, and so do the tears. It WILL pass .. when you are ready. If it's helpful, join a grief counseling group. If not, then just learn to get through your days as best you can. Try cleaning out a drawer or re-arranging the furniture. Anything that keeps you busy is good. Just be careful with yourself; people do tend to have more accidents in the first few months following a death because one's attention wavers.
Take care of yourself, and be good to yourself. You still have a good life ahead of you; it will be different, but remember that "different" can be good.

Greiving is part of the healing process.. and is quite normal..
My mom said .. Plant flowers around your house and then you will know I am present! Dont waste time on me grieving... I will painless, and carefree.. and will be watching you... so please.. don't discourage me by sitting around moping... bring the life that I have breathed into you and do something with it...
Perhaps.. you could venture with some really good friends and do a Fundraiser in your hubbies behalf.. give some awesome students scholorships in his name to attend a college.. or a youth camp.. it could be a golf outing.. or a dinner , it could be anything!
Shine ... and let him see you are happy! That is what he would want for you!!!!
I will keep you in prayer..
