I read your article "the ways we grieve" and I am sorry to admit that I "grieve through the ego". The fact that my husband is not suffering and his soul is at peace does not seem to give me much comfort because all I really care about right now is that he is gone and not here with me where I want him to be.

Yes, I know it is a selfish and immature way to react. Guilty as charged. Will this change with time? Will I mature emotionally? Does my spiritual maturity really have much to do with this?

You have left me with more questions than answers but maybe that is the point? For right now, the "here and now" is not very appealing.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
