Belongs to: Therapist Reacts to Cemetery Gates by Pantera
The sad thing is Pantera didn’t break up they were just taking a break to do other projects and had planned on getting back together. Pantera is my favorite band of all time and this is my favorite song but it has a whole new meaning for me now. In July my wife passed away and I struggle every day

Good morning my friend.
I want to start by saying that I am so so so sorry for your loss. July is not that long ago so that wound must still feel fresh.
If you dont mind me asking, what was your wife like? What did you love most about her?
I know this song is about loss and the thought of joining that person - potentially sooner than one normally would.
I wanted to ask how you were coping and handling things at the moment? I wont pretend that I know exactly what you feel. I’m fortunate enough to not have dealt with much major loss in my life. And the times I was on the proverbial ledge, it was for vastly different reasons.
I dont want to assume that I know what you’re experiencing. Or assume that I know what the right move is. I just want to encourage you to live. And to stay. To care for yourself - as cliche as it sounds.
Maybe I dont have much ground to be making requests. I appreciate you taking a moment to share with us. I appreciate your honesty. And I hope you’re safe.
Dont hesitate to reach out. We’d love to hear about your wife, your next steps, your future. The wall is a place you can always come.
Hold fast, my friend.

Hello dear one. I’m so sorry you lost your Love. How long were you and your wife together? What is your most favorite memory? I lost my mom in June of this year and every day seems to being a new feeling. Losing someone to death is the most extreme “good byes” that we can never undo. And it hurts so much to be the one left behind. I don’t know what you’re actually experiencing, but I’ve found myself on the floor hard-crying for half an hour or more at random times over the last few months. I hear her voice daily and hope I never forget it.
The grieving process is so complicated. One day you feel fine for every hour of the day, and the next day you break apart every other hour. They say the grieving process is a “10 step process” but I disagree with that. We will be dealing with one of those steps everyday of our life for the rest of our lives. Some days will be harder than others. But some will be better. I hope you find more better days soon.
I will pray for healing and comfort for you. Stay strong.
