today i was presented with a request most of you know i write poetry its my life as was chris i asked the captin of his platoon to put my poem with the flowers and stuff he said he would but then he asked if it was ok to use the poem as a marker i was so honored but then i started to cry not just a tiny bit but as if someone was trying to kill me or something i guess thats when it finally hit me....there had been no mistake he really is gone and hes not comin back was this reaction normal or am i just crazy?

Your not crazy darling...
Its becoming a reality for you.
That is wonderful that they are going to use it...

you're not crazy. i'm not trying to distress you but there may be more of these crying episodes but there surely ain't nothing wrong with you. i wish you all the best.

we all deal with grief differently. who is to say what is normal or not? as for me, it does not sound like left field. Best to you

I think it is very normal for something like a death to not "sink" in right away. I think it is a defense mechanism ....until we are actually capable of mentally dealling w/ the event...

thanks guys im sorry to be such a whiner

you are not crazy, you are human , and WE ALL deal with it differently, that is why its called an emotion I believe.

As has been said already, we all deal differently ... my advice is to NOT hold it in .. when it comes let it out .. :) ...

Take care , and bless you ... :)

When you loose someone you love it takes time for reality to sink in it is a hard road to travel there is no magic words to make the hurt go away and at times even months down the road those same feelings will all of a sudden come up.

Wine all you want...
There are alot of shoulders to lean on here...
Hugzzzzzzzzz to you.

So sorry to hear of your loss Sometimes the reality doesn't hit us til well after.

Best wishes to you and yours

To me...crying is a release of tension. We all know how much you loved Chris and it is perfectly normal to miss him so much...to tears.

To be crazy is to recognize others stupidity.

its even worse today because he did a lot for this country i dont really wanna say what they did to him but he made it through that hell and what killed him was lung cancer

so sorry for your loss

shadow your human and have emotions so not crazy for showing grief or love for someone special to you.

yea but its been a month...

(((( Nicki ))))))

Cry my sweet child,,, you are not crazy,,, just coming to terms with finally realizing chris is gone,,,, He is in your Soul and there he will guide you, laugh with you, cry with you and experience all of life with you,,,,

Hugs

1 day, 1 month, 1 year, who is to say how long it takes to adjust and be able to cope with the loss of a loved one???
there is no time table. you will know when the time is right.

(((((((shADoWPRINCESS)))))))))))) it takes time to heal, a month is not much time when it comes to grief........we are here for you, and your not whining......

Princess,

Your dealing with it the way you know how, and that's what counts.

God bless you
