Hi R,
People I'm speaking to are beginning to suggest looking into group support.
It's not that easy to find the particular kind of support that I would be interested in pursuing here.
I can't remember if I've shared my experience of reaching out to the main suicide bereavement charity with H.
May have to do that next week, as I imagine she'll be just as flabbergasted by it.
It's not possible to grieve without letting the emotions through - and that's a really hard lesson for me to learn.
Now we have to talk about the hardest aspect again.
I have little record of those first few sessions after Steve died, because I didn't write afterwards.
I don't remember feeling much when we were working on Zoom.
As I explained to H today...'I absorbed the news of Steve's death like a blow to the head.'
Back then I couldn't reach my feelings if I wanted to.
Now I have the choice, but I don't quite have the courage.
I need you to be in it with me.
See you soon,
Lost
