But I am either ok or really depressed. I went to dinner with some friends of mine today and it was nice to get away but as soon as I got in my truck I started to cry and I cried all the way home. I took a seriquil after I got home hopefully it helps.
Earlier today I spent hours going through pictures of my wife and I put together a tribute book for my wife from shutterfly. I did cry while looking but it was not to horrible. My sister in law made a video for my wife's celebration of life and I still have not been able to watch it. I don't plan on watching it any time soon.

Trigger possibility next paragraph.





While I was looking at the pictures I came across one that was taken last summer in black and white. After looking at it it looks like she was sick then maybe I could of prevented her death if I would of noticed it. The other thing is the day she passed I let her sleep in a couple of extra hours because she was a little sick the night before. If I would of woke her when she was supposed to be up I might have saved her.

I am full of grief, anger and guilt. I know I should not be doing the what if game but I am stuck in a hole.

I can’t imagine the pain of a loss like your wife. Try not to allow yourself to sink into thinking you could have stopped it. There’s probably nothing you could have done.

Try to go easy on yourself…you are grieving and there’s no time stamp on that. Good for you going out.

Take care of you
