Your Feelings
How many times has someone asked how you are doing and you automatically answered, "I am OK"? We have heard that question enough that it really does become automatic. Can we really expect our friends and family to truly support us the way that we need if we don't at least try and share what were are feeling? Yes, there are some people that will ask that question and don't want to hear any but "I am OK". If you don't know who they are now you will as soon as you say something different by their expression.
Do not deny what your feeling. It does wonders sometimes just to get stuff off your chest to someone that will listen. If you are experiencing any of the 7 Stages of Grief, you are not OK. There are lots of words to describe what you are feeling. Taking a stab at putting word to your feeling might just help you grasp how far you have actually come. Remember above all else, you are allowed to feel the way your feeling. Expressing those feelings is good for you and you may be surprised how it will help other people support you.
