As I start this blog on 9.26.06, it has been 11 weeks since my sweetheart passed away unexpectedly from a cardiac arrest. I have been blogging my grief, because that’s how I process things. It has been suggested to me that sharing my thoughts on grief might be helpful to others. I don’t know…I’m just making this up as I go along, but if the tiniest bit of good could come out of this loss, I’d be grateful. So I have created this blog. I offer it as a record of my grief, and a compassionate notice to others who are grieving that I understand. Sometimes, that’s enough. I have past-dated the entries in this blog to coincide with when I actually wrote them after my sweetie passed on July 15, 2006. The blog displays in reverse-chronological order, so to read them in the order I wrote them, it is best to go through the archives, starting with the first post on July 17th. Feel free to comment, to share your own feelings, whatever. Grief is the loneliest place in the world; anything we can do to make it less so is better for us.
