[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so angry that my amazing husband died unexpectedly and young of cancer.  It’s been less than a year and I hide it well around my family.  But I am so mad he is gone.  He was the best and kindest person I have ever known.  Life will never be the same.  Covid has made the grieving worse.[/quote]

This breaks my heart! I’m sorry, PP.  I would be mad too. :-([/quote]

Thank you. I’ll never be happy again.[/quote]

Yes, you will be happy but maybe not as happy as you once were. Someone or something will make you laugh or smile and that will be the first step and just one of many. [/quote]

I don't know if I can express this properly, but one of the things I learned about profound grief is that it is possible to feel grief and sadness and joy simultaneously.  You will always grieve and be sad and angry about your loss, but that doesn't mean you will never experience joy again.

If you aren't aware of it, I recommend the podcast "Terrible, Thanks for Asking."  The host lost her husband to cancer.  I would go back to the very beginning.  She does a much better job than I can of describing how it feels to live with these contradictory emotions.  [/quote]
