A letter to Shy

Losing someone who has been a part of your life for many years or decades can rock you to the core, your grief overwhelming you. Going from a twosome to a single is beyond painful, and it may be hard to learn to cope with this loss. - See more at: http://www.bandbacktogether.com/how-to-help-someone-whose-partner-has-died/#sthash.tyPaDRyU.dpuf

Dearest Shy,

 Losing Jojie who have been part of your life for many years has rocked you to the core. Your grief overwhelms you. Going from twosome to a single is beyond painful for you and it may be hard for you to cope for this loss.

Take the time you need to grieve for him. There is no time table on grief and no set schedule in which you should be over it.

This is going to be a very long, difficult and lonely journey for you and the best thing is that we are all here when you need us. . At first,  people are coming out of the woodwork, but soon - everyone will go on with their lives and yours will stand still. But knowing how brave you are, you wont allow this to yourself.  You will be lonely from time to time after the dust settles and  won't know what to do, and tears will become your best friend. But if you feel like your on the verge of it, trust that we are all here to listen to you even if you repeat the same thing over and over.

Ignoring the pain will not make the grieving process go any faster. Its really important to face up that ugly grief and let it out. You dont always have to be strong, its ok to be weak. Losing Jojie is a major life change for you and your grief can  be very consuming. But you grieve in your own way in your own time. Lastly, never ever allow someone to tell you how you should be acting, behaving or feeling. If they try cut them off until such time you can explain why or what they said is not  acceptable.

God knows how hard we wanted to fix the situation for you, but i know its impossible. We cannot fix you.... we cannot replace Jojie.... but we can be is a friend... to love you and support you.

Love you girl...
