When I think back to the loved ones I have lost, I can now remember them without tears and with smiles. It will take some time with you, since your whole day was wrapped up with Mark's life. Getting into new routines is good, as is trying new things.

To say it will get easier, it will abate, your mind cannot comprehend right now. You need ot go join a small or large chucrh near you. You need to get in a small bible study or greive support group( hospitals offer then too all free).Get out of the house, and mayeb re-arrange some furniture when you get back, to ' change ' your outward eye view of your home a little.Some of these things ' trick' our mind to stop triggering pain.

I just read your comment in Karen's Quarry Glass, so i clicked on your early Dec post and read the Dec 8 and 9th. That was so quick for your DH. All of us will be going there, just not at the same time, and you are so blessed for being with him all throughout. Everything will pass, you are just still in the grieving process, let it all come out, and eventually you will enter the next phase! My positive thoughts and prayers go with you, I hope I am not very late.
