: I lost the only true love of my life and my best friend

Continued

I am pulling back and avoiding my friends as much as possible. Their lives are going on as normal and they expect to be able to talk to me about normal everyday things, but it is all so trivial to me. My world has stopped. My family is good about listening and trying to help me in any way they can and I am very lucky to have such a close family, however they have never had a close loss like this.

I am so lonely, angry, sad, and can't sleep. I feel a constant aching in my heart. I have been journaling, going to grief web sites, and am reading as many grief and bereavement books as I can. I also have a collection of special poems and prayers.

Thanks for listening.
