Did you know that widows feel shame?
Did you know that widowers feel shame?
I just realized this.
As I was driving to hospice bereavement last week it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Sometimes when I speak about Michelle, I feel shame.

For all those who post or blog about their late loved one. For all those who post or blog about their loss.
For all those who talk about their late loved one. For all those who talk about their loss.
This is why we talk about them.
Hold on to all the times we had
In life that made you smile
Hold on to all the memories
That made our lives worth while
Hold on to all of our sweet love...
And dreams that we once shared
Your life learning lessons are cherished and earned
I'm forever grateful you taught me not to get burned
From age three, I watched you and learned a lot about life
I'll cherish those grandpa so I don't get cut by sharp edge knife
I won't ever let anyone treat me less than best
Thank you grandpa for all you taught me
Now it's time for you to Rest
RIP
Few of us know the words to say at a time of intense sorrow. I surely don’t!
In the uncomfortable silence when someone’s lost a loved one, have you ever tried to fill the gap with words? Yep, me too. For some reason we’ll attempt to bring sense to a situation that really makes no sense.
Sometimes there are no words!
