i know intuitively that it is perfectly acceptable to still be grieving after spending nearly ten years with her, but i feel like i don't have many people i can talk to about it irl. i know i have friends who understand, but then there is the committee in my brain telling me no one will care. i wish i could talk to my husband about it, but he's still pretty shut down.

i am so grateful that i have you guys to talk to
