Hi all,

My boyfriend(was 49) died unexpectedly July 1 of a "catastrophic heart attack"(autopsy findings).

It was a shock to all of us who knew him and will be for a long time-his absence is noticeable!

Yesterday I realized I needed to get on with life and not obsess over his absence. I'll still grieve him but need to deal with the obsessive thoughts about him that are constantly in my head!

help appreciated!

((((((((((( grace )))))))))))))))) i'm so sorry for your loss. welcome to PC.

Have you considered seeing a therapist for a term of grief counseling? It certainly can help. I got mired in grief that was hard to pull away from long after my father's death due to unresolved issues. Discussing this with my therapist helped me so much.

We're here and listening.

Of course you're going to think about him all the time, the idea of him no longer being around is still very new. I'm so sorry for your lose, you're right on the correct path with moving on in your life, but trying to stop thinking about him will not work, you will think less of less of the traumatic experince, and find yourself thinking more about him with time.
