It Gets Better

 If you are reading post, I am really sorry for your loss. It is a devastating path and one with up and downs. It does get better over time, but there are days and maybe weeks, we fall into the abyss. 

Not coping, crying endlessly, being unable to function, are all normal outcomes. You are not weak or going mad, it is the process of grief. 

As the weeks, months and years unfold the grief morphs and changes. Honestly, I believe it always sits in your heart, however, we find ways to deal with it. 

Let yourself have meltdowns and days you simply sit and look out the window. This is part of the healing and takes as long as it takes. 

The greater the love we shared, the deeper the pain and loss. 

The first 2 years are probably the worst I found. Then as the years went by, it was the stark realisation of the truth. I took it day by day. At the start, it was how to get to lunch time, then dinner, then bed. The pain was excruciating. 

Keep strong, you can get through this. 

Losing someone that you love is the worst pain of all. 

Be kind to yourself, and know the pain becomes easier to bear. 

Love, Wendy x
