    Hi Debbie

    One of the effects of grieving is anger, I lost my husband on 12 April with jaw cancer. 

    I have been angry but not angry my husband left me , I think the anger is drawn towards were left on our own and it's easy to direct it at our loved ones.

    We're very lonely and have to start a new life for ourselves which is very hard , all sorta of emotions going on , probably some I haven't even experienced yet.

    Take each day as it comes ,  don't think too far ahead , that's how ideal with it, take care , you will get there, its sink or swim, i have decided to swim.
