Thank you for saying that it is OK...I think that is one thing I miss most, someone who cares and tells you that things are OK when you feel guilty. I feel a bit brighter today, and have a little more energy. I suppose it is like most things with grief, there are peaks and troughs. I think we underestimate how much our body - and our heart - needs to refuel. One thing you made me think is how hard it is to see the difference between needing sleep and depression?

It seems like the only time that I get completely away from the "guilt thing" is when I keep myself entirely too busy to have personal thoughts. Otherwise, like many of us who have lost someone special, I dwell on those thoughts. Did he know how much I loved him? Did he think he wouldn't be missed? I know that we told each other, "I love you", many times, and at least once or twice each day. But you know how that goes: not delivered with passion, but with whatpasses for affection when you have been together for many years. But, hey - we ALL need sleep, and I think you are right to listen to your body. Just sleep, girl! As long as you don't have those "I can't get out of bed today" moods - aka depression - then just enjoy a little nap or extra hours at night. We all need sleep, and grief is hard on us. Until someone goes through this, they just do not know how hard that is. Me, again.
