Self help group for people who have lost spouses

I am also truly sorry for your loss Charlie. Even when you know it's coming, it's really hard to accept. Everybody is different in the way they process grief. I hid. It's a tough go but was right for me. It was three years last September and I still miss him every day. I have kept busy, very busy.
Whatever works for you. All I can say is that you will muddle through it whatever you choose. It's OK to cry.

I sent you a pm Charlie

I went to the Homeopathic Doctor who used to be close to Yves and is now located between the Swedish Bakery and Chrissy's Hair Salon in the Laguna Mall.
If he hadn't been recommended by my landlords at that time (one a Psychiatrist and the other a Psychologist), I wouldn't have even thought of it. I was scatter shooting, unable to complete simple tasks and wondered where my organizational skills had gone. That's on top on the crying, the sighing and the general depression. He made me a potion of Ignatia and I put X number of drops under my tongue twice a day. I started to rally in a couple of weeks. And, although still sad, was able to start functioning again. I finished the bottle and thought I was done. In three weeks, I was sliding again. Went back and got another bottle, finished it and have been fine ever since.
I don't care who doesn't believe in Homeopathy. Each to his/her own. It REALLY helped me so I thought I'd share.
