No flowers for this widow…
When you lose someone you love unexpectedly you go through so many emotions it’s hard to keep living a normal life. Grieving is hard work. Emotions flow in all directions and some days you cannot function. You just sit. You cry. You don’t know how you will survive. You don’t do anything. You forget to eat. You are numb.
When your loved one dies people ring to say they are sorry; to make sure your okay. They may send flowers, They may drop in with a meal, or just to keep you company. They ask if they can do anything to help.
When the person you love leaves you, you don’t get phone calls from those same people to say they are sorry; to make sure your okay. No-one drops in with a meal or just to keep you company. No-one offers any help. They are silent, they say nothing; they avoid mentioning your missing loved one - yet you are experiencing the same grief. You have lost your love; your life as you have known it; the future you planned together. Your loved one has gone, your relationship is dead. You will never see or communicate with them again - as final as death. Life as you knew it has changed forever.
Why is it that no-one cares; no-one wants to acknowledge your grief or support you in your loss?
Your alone. You are in shock. You are drowning in your grief but there is no hand to reach out to you.
And no flowers for this Widow…
