Thanks for the podcast info, I actually found Cooper’s podcast a month or so! Such an interesting listen and made me feel not so alone. As he talked about his brother’s suicide I empathized with him so much.I don't know if it will help you, but Anderson Cooper started a podcast about Grief last year. It has become a very popular podcast, which means there must be a lot of people out there grieving. That makes sense, because Covid took so many people from us and we the Boomers are such a large segment of society and we are dying off too.
If you don't have a Smart Phone that has a podcast app, you can listen to episodes here: All There Is with Anderson Cooper - Podcast on CNN Audio
If you do have a Smart Phone you can download a podcast app. The Apple and Google podcast apps are both free.
I hope you find some happy memories of your son today that bring you some joy to comfort you.
I’m so very sorry about your husband Colleen.I want to say thank you for your posts. You may not realize it but you've helped me through a devastating time in my life by being able to express the thoughts and feelings I feel every day. I lost my husband on October 13th so suddenly that I've been walking around in a fog. I look "normal", like you said, on the outside but my life has been turned upside down.
I'm keeping you in my prayers. I don't think you ever "get over" a loss but you eventually will heal so you can go on with living. We'll both see our loved one again and we'll be able to spend an eternity with them. I truly believe that and, for me, I cling to that promise every day.
God bless you.
