Yes I was her primary caregiver it was just AWFUL to see her in that condition out of no where!! She passed very quickly only 2 months but I have been in such a dark place for the last 2 days even knowing it was so much better for her, the sadness just won’t go away!!
Grieving can take a while, everyone is different. 2 days isn’t that long, although it probably feels like longer.

OF COURSE you are in a dark place the last two days. I bet you have a pain in your stomach that doesn’t respond to anything. I bet you can’t think. I bet you you have a bit of a headache. I bet you’re hungry but want to vomit if you put a bite of food near your mouth. The sadness OF COURSE doesn’t go away.
I think we do ourselves a disservice when we say, “Let’s CELEBRATE their life!” Well, yes. BUT, it is okay to be sad when someone dies. I hope someone will be sad when I die and no longer in their life. I hope someone misses me.
I am very sorry you are experiencing this pain. Hugs and love to you.
“..the sadness just won’t go away!!”
I know what you mean. It has been a year and a half since my husband passed and I still can’t pack up his stuff. And yesterday on facebook a memory popped up. A picture of him after coming home from rehab and I had fixed up a way for him to watch Fox News on my computer. It is so hard to believe he is gone, but yet I know he is because it is so lonely without him.
It took me years to get to the point where I could even go to work on April 5, the day my dad died. I would cry at the grocery store because they played “the living years” and forget about listening to Patsy Cline. But it gets better and easier, believe me.
