I Have Something to Say

It's now been just over 6 months since my wife passed away. I've tried hard to start rebuilding my life but feel like a failure all the time. This morning I woke up and decided I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself. One fact in life is that if you don't do something for yourself, nobody else will do it. One can't complain about how nobody cares for them if they don't care for themselves. I need to start looking inward for the strength to carry on instead of wishing someone will help me. Time for me to grow up and accept life how it is and do the best with what I have.

I'm very sorry to hear this, how very hard. I had not seen your posts for quite a while. I completely agree, taking care of yourself is important! Self-pity sucks. All you need is the thoughts and then to take the actions. You can do it!
