Hmmmmm, I'm just curious, any thoughts on how long I might expect this intense grief to last?

I believe the most appropriate thing to do is just to be warm and supportive as he works through it, it would seem that trying to push for "rebuilding" now would be way to soon and be likely to set us back??????

i don't think I fully comprehended how deeply he was going to grieve until now, when I actually see it.

I'm thinking I even need to be a little sensitive to his moods and tone down the cheerfulness, the " as if" outlook....seems like it would seem to him to be very insensitive for me to be all "happy" when he's hurting so badly.
Actually, I think that's called mirroring....or something like that


been around awhile!
