Does love go away with grief ?

It  took a lot of us about five years just to process our grief, the rest we learn to live with. Not like, but live with.  You are where you can expect to be, this is such a snail's pace process!  And remember we are all unique and vary with our timelines.

Thanks, Kay. You pretty much explained how I'm feeling these days. If there's one good thing that came out of your grief it's that your years of dealing with it are an example of what we may expect on this journey. THANKS COACH!!

Alot of it is how many years I've spent on grief forums, led by a grief counselor that read each and every post and responded as needed...she is retiring the site Jan. 1 though due to her age.

After almots 7 years I think I overcame grief. But at the same time my heart is empty. It' looks like love is gone with grief. But I still want to be with her in Heaven. Has anyonne here felt such a thing ?

Love and pain have no direct correlation, i.e. just because you are in less pain doesn't mean you love them any less.

I share the same pain that all of you are feeling. We should all take some comfort that we have this board and each other to share our feelings with. I'm guessing not all of us have the same bad days; so those of who are having a decent day are here to comfort those who are not. We can take comfort in that.

Mine goes the same place it always did, to my George.  Somehow I think he knows that.  I know it's not in the same tangible form it used to be, we can no longer physically touch but I still talk to him and I knew him well enough to imagine his answers.

Kay:  I know you've got years on me on the grieving journey. My only hope is that I someday come closer to how you're handling your grief right now.

I always come back to , what would she want for me ? Why did she love me? I must retain that of myself to move forward with a meaningful life and be someone she could love and be proud of. There is some competing emotions that I struggle with because continuing on with life means continuing on with our her. I find it very painful.

Shawn:  I'm also on the same path as you everyday. It's a struggle, I don't like it, but I have to continue to try.
