Lost My Therapist And Good Friend

Thanks everyone, today is really hard but your posts are helpful in reminding me that life will go on and there are good times too.

An update on this: the sadness is coming now. Each week I used to have therapy on Friday, and that's when I'd see him. This last week I got very upset because we were going to a friend's birthday party and all I wanted to do was see my T. I became very overwhelmed and irritable to the point of irrationality a few times over the weekend where the smallest thing would set me off.

I found myself arguing with my wife a lot and had to stay medicated almost all last weekend. Today is the first day that I have not used any medication most of the day because I feel hopeful. It must have to do with finding out that we are having another baby son in a few months. Life really does go on, and in wondrous ways. Grieving is weird and I am only at the beginning, but I can't help but note that if these events had happened 2 years ago I would have completely lost it.

Instead today I took my son to the children's museum and picked up my wife for lunch and found myself smiling for no reason at all. Miracles abound, I suppose.

In my honored opinion, this should go into the "Accomplishments & Success" thread, at least into your own private one :tup:
