Doug,

Thank you for your posts. I found this website today, and it was just what I needed to help me cope with the situation I'm dealing with. I'm so sorry for your loss and for your grief. Please know that reading about yours and Keri's journey has helped me to not feel so alone in mine.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and Keri. What you say about "shadow grief" is so true. Sometimes when I am feeling out of sorts, depressed, or anxious, I look at the calendar and suddently realize that I am coming up on a grief anniversary. I haven't experienced the loss of a spouse, but in other grief situations, I've found that over time, I begin having more good days than bad. But even years later, something will remind me of my loss, and I'll experience a stab of intense pain. I hope sharing your story brings you comfort.
