Death of two beloved women

[classylady]

My mother passed away three weeks ago.  Last night my mother-in-law passed away.  These were wonderful, faithful, stalwart women.  I have been so blessed to have known them.

They are no longer in pain.  They both missed their sweethearts and are now with them.  They both lived good, long, righteous lives.  Knowing this, I am not grieving too hard, but yet, at the same time, it is so hard.  Simply put:  I will miss them.  I will miss the advice they gave me.  I will miss their love for me.  I will miss them at future family events, and so on.

Knowing they are better off, and with the faith I have, I'm wondering why I'm so physically stressed about this.  I haven't been feeling well since my mom died and am having indigestion problems because of the stress.  I don't feel terrible emotional stress, but my physical pains are telling me "I'm stressed!"  Just wish I felt better and the knot in my stomach would go away.

I am so sorry. Even when you have enormous faith and a great relationship with deity, losing people you love is very hard! Hugs!

So sorry for your loss classylady. Crying is one of the best ways to deal with grief; if you haven't a good cry yet maybe your body is trying to tell you something. If you've done all the crying you can, then maybe you just need time to heal.

My deepest sympathies for your losses.  That's a lot in such a short time.  Journaling might help relieve some of the stress and in turn help you physically.  {hugs}

Thinking of you! Sending warm thoughts! Life can be so hard.
