I don't even know what to type. I am heartbroken to start. My husband lost a part of himself this morning when his grandpa passed away. I am grieving this loss also. He has been like my own grandpa for the last 12 years.

When my husband came home just now, I didn't even know how to react. I hugged him enormously and told him I loved him but it felt a little awkward. I'm not sure what is okay and what is not okay. I heard him sobbing in the basement so I went down just to let him know I am here for anything he needs. He said he just wants to be alone. I know this is hard for him. He is grieving deeply for Grandpa just as he is torn and grieving for a broken marriage.

I know there will be joy again but I just need a little break for a while. I need some sunshine. I don't think I can handle anything else.

I wish I had words to say that would make you feel better.
I wish I could sit, have tea with you, and share your tears.
I wish I could bring you sunshine and smiles
But I can't
Please know that we are here for you

Hugs and peace

How compassionate and benevolent are your sentiments! I would love it if you could do these things but virtual hugs must do. Thank you for your kindness.

I agree with Standup2me, I wish I could be there for you, too. I've been going through a really stressful time, too, so I will share what I have learned: find pieces of joy where you can. Look for beauty and find appreciation in it. Spend time with friends and people you love. I hope you find comfort in simple pleasures and in the people you care about. Remember that "this, too, shall pass," and things will get better. HUGS!!!!

Allow yourself to grieve, too. It was loving of you to reach out to your husband, even though he didn't accept the gesture. Find someone you can grieve with.
