I’ve come to believe the reason we’re so anxious to hide this desire is our worry that nobody else wants approval—that we’re the only people who want to be liked and loved, and have anxiety about not getting those things. Interestingly, when we recognize this desire is only human, we not only feel more secure about having it, but also begin to transcend it and feel freer to live the lives we want.”

It made me think and the more we talked the more I agreed. Grief comes in many ways…

• Loss of a job
• Divorce or separation from your partner
• When your children leave home
• Redundancy of people around you 
• Grief over large events such as Burma or the death of Princess Diana
• Surgery such as hysterectomy

As widows or widowers we can sometimes think that people who have not suffered a death, cannot relate to our feelings. That is wrong. Loss is loss….it may be easier to replace some of the losses but they still cause feelings of grief, depression and loneliness.

What do you think?

“I love your blog and yet I am male and not a widower. You may find that strange but last year my wonderful wife of 23 years walked out on me for another man. I was shell shocked as I did not see it coming. My point is that grief is felt by people like me as well as widows and widowers. In fact, I would say the grief is harder….

When you wrote the other day that your heart had fulfilled its destiny…you are right. But at least when someone dies, you have not been rejected. You have been left, but the pain is tough as the person you love is still alive. The grief is there…the pain is there….the relationship is dead but the person is still there to love. I wondered whether the readers had   any thoughts on how I cope?”

Wow, powerful. Divorce is a change, it is a relationship that is over. Grieving for the loss of your partner does not necessarily mean death. Let’s try and reach out and help this guy…any ideas?
