Have you ever

Felt so broken hearted it hurt to breathe or move. Everything you do is a colossal effort and every reminder of your loss brings crippling shudders and sobs. I wonder if this is just what life is going to be and I will never feel whole again.

Yes, I have. It was not my divorce that I was happy to be done and competed. But being an Army veteran/retiree that my son followed into the Army at nearly 18 years of age that when he was 21 years old ended up committing suicide (Only God knows why, I do not) then three days post his death/funeral where I gave his eulogy it all hit me because the shock was gone, and the remorse and loss set in. It took three years to seek counseling and once I did so at my veteran's hospital, then I did begin to learn how to cope with his death.

For me it was learning to come to grips with his death and how to cope with it, but it still hurts terribly, and I will never lose the hurt.

So, counseling and trying to learn how to cope with tragedy whatever it may be coupled with time will at least allow you to continue with your life. I cannot say unchanged/ back to normal just differently and learning how to cope with the hurt/loss.

@WillaKissing thank you so much for your heartfelt reply. My loss could never measure up to the loss of a child and I am so incredibly sorry for your pain. Thank you also for giving me hope.
