Can i get some sympathy?

[annadala]

I am so sorry :-(

[steenbean18]

Tons of sympathy. I can't imagine going through what you are, and trying to be productive on top of it. Hang in there girl!

Oh, I'm so sorry Big hugs.

Since DH lives 7 hours away from me, I have to do tons by myself. I spend lots of time cursing our (albeit temporary) situation when I'm in the middle of some unfun manual labor chore that would be so much easier with two. So I've been there...sort of.

If you feel comfortable asking, I bet you the people who offered to help immediately after will still help. I read an article once that in the months after, people wonder how the bereaved is doing, but don't want to be a bother by calling, and the bereaved is thinking no one wants to help, but doesn't want to be a bother and ask. It's a communication issue that's easily solved. Maybe send a light FB message to any of the people who offered to help?

I'm so sorry

I was going to say the same as tarheels ^^^ (must have read the same article).

Any chance you could host a girls night, where a few friends can come and help at the same time with some drinks and eats?

That's the worst part. The person I would talk to about this was DH. Sigh.

I am so sorry. I wish one of us had the words to "make it all better," but I know there is nothing that we can say to help ease the pain. And to answer your question...YES, you can get some sympathy!!!

first of all, I'm so sorry you're going through this. but I want to echo this sentiment - ask people. they are probably wanting to help but aren't sure what to say or how to say it. trust me, they want to be there for you. hang in there.

OMG...I have tears streaming down my face reading this. You have my heartfelt sympathy - I can't say I know how you feel. But I just lost my only child in a horriffic apartment fire in March - so I hear you. Grief is such a monster - some days I can barely funtion. No one can take the pain away - no one, except the one who is gone.

If you need to talk, I would be happy to listen. It helps me when people want to talk about Jonathan instead of pretending this didn't happen. my personal email is [e-mail]
