I have been very blessed to find a great support group in Manchester while I am here. It is an eight week program that focuses on different stages of grief and how to manage them throughout this journey. It is not just for widows and widowers which I thought I would not like at first. How could somebody who hasn't lost their spouse truly relate to what I am going through? I was very wrong. I can relate to every person in that group somehow or someway and I wish the group could go on forever. I feel like I have gotten to know each of their loved ones through them and my heart breaks for each of them. I wish I would never have to know about this group, I wish I would never have had to seek out help in the first place...but I'm glad I did. I miss Kevin so much everyday. The more time that passes the more I cannot grasp that I will never get to talk to him again. If I have learned anything through going to a support group it is that every person grieves in their own unique way. What helps one person, may not help another at all. What makes one person feel at peace may bring another into depression and tears. Someday I hope to lead a support group and guide others through this journey and help others see how they are not alone.
