]]> I was speaking to someone on the bus today and she asked if there was a reason for my broken heart….

I was shocked and said “How do you know that?”

She smiled and said “You are staring, looking lost and fiddling with your ring…a true sign of a broken heart?”

Made me think of other ways people can tell you are bereaved, some I have to say a little tongue in cheek…

  1. We hate filling forms out, as we don’t want to tick our marital status.
  2. We keep looking at our watches IF we ever go to a social gathering, trying to sense when it is OK to run back home!
  3. We stare into space a lot, and don’t always realize that someone is speaking to us!
  4. We can never again watch Lassie without being inconsolable!
  5. We don’t fit our clothes either because grief leaves us not wanting to eat, or grief means that we cannot stop eating…either way our clothes look wrong….

What would you add?
