Diving deeply into Grief as a Teacher

Discussion in 'Coping After a Sudden Loss' started by Patti Shaffner, Jul 23, 2019.

  1. Is anyone here actively looking for ways to engage with grief as a teacher? It has been only 8 weeks since my husband dies suddenly from a heart attack. We worked throughout out nearly thirty years to create a conscious relationship to the unseen ‘Third’ ( think Rumi’ idea of ‘We are Three’) which means for me that while I am learning to navigate a life without him and the physical withdrawal symptoms and social and cultural adjustments...I am wanting to stay awake through this journey rather than numb or distract myself from it. I started blogging on FB https://m.facebook.com/https://m.facebook.com/wisecracksblog/
    Anybody else looking in this direction???

    I might be, in that after four
    months, I am still very much
    in love with my departed wife
    and as much as my loneliness
    hurts me, I do not want to be
    a walking zombie like a
    creature from Alpha Centauri.
    I want to keep Sofia in my ❤
    and remember as much of
    our times together as possible.

    I have no real idea on what
    part of grief's road I am on
    Still feels like shock and
    denial to a lesser extent I
    guess.

    I ended up going back to
    New England and have
    gotten settled and tho
    doing all right in some ways
    I am not far from a mess in
    other ways and I suppose it
    will take a good length of
    time to really get through
    this.

    But for a phone call from her
    brother, a narcistic bastard,
    Working in state gov. Public
    records, Alex Panigotacos,
    for his own rotten and maybe
    greedy reasons called the
    hospital and told them we
    were not legally married.
    We had a committal service
    and were in God's eyes,
    husband and wife. Other-
    wise I could still have my
    wife and would have been
    by her side lovingly everyday.

    Alex, you have done a very
    bad thing, Ratting out your
    sister, my wife. I so hope
    you get what you deserve
