A client whose wife was killed told me:
“At first, some people tried to be helpful but then it seemed like no one wanted to listen or talk about my wife anymore. Maybe they don’t speak of her because they don’t want to see me sad; maybe they just don’t want to upset me. I wanted to talk about her but it seemed to make others uncomfortable. So I began to control it and wouldn’t talk about her, so maybe people think I am doing well. But I am not doing well. I need to talk about my wife and remember her. How can I just forget her?”
