New sorrow

[diamond47m]

I was starting to feel ok again, I set my late husband free on the 7 yr anniversary of his death. I put my wedding set on my right hand and got a sapphire ring and put it on my left, I still love my late husband deeply and always will but I figured it was time to let him rest. We finally found a place to live in the town where my job is, my dad helped me get up the deposit and extra money for the lights and water. We move September 1, job's going good, truck is getting fixed, car still is horrible but it runs, so life was as good as could be expected for me, then the dreaded message, call my sister in law, ( we do not get along, so I knew something was bad) my mother in law died, my kids (even though grown) still lost their meme. I'm so heartbroken, I left work early, I can barely talk from crying so much, now we are going 550 miles to the funeral Tuesday. Hotel room food, gas just won't have much money left and also having to board Dusty. I'm going to miss her so much, just so depressing

Hi there,

I'm so sorry for your loss. There are no words to express how difficult this must be for you, having begun to find closure over your late husband, to now face the loss of your mother-in-law. Take things one step at a time. It's not surprising that you feel so heartbroken, as all the pent up grief of previous losses will also exacerbate how you are feeling. Be gentle with yourself. You will get through this. Your new beginnings are great. But the crying and grief are a natural and health response and letting those tears out rather than bottling them up is good. It shows what an amazing, loving person you are, and how blessed your loved have been knowing you. At some point when you've moved and are settled, it may help to have some bereavement counselling to help you deal with these losses, but only if and when the time is right.

Take care,

Sending Best wishes,

MAS Nurse

How does one get over a bereavement when your daughter is a splitting image of her mother
