🌊Marion and Krissie describe two common waves of emotions that can hit people grieving their spouse’s death: anger and fear.

Marion: “I was angry with him. If he had listened to me, if he had taken better care of himself, if he had done what the doctors said …”

Krissie: “My worry and fear was, ‘God, what am I going to do? How am I going to be a single mom? How am I going to take care of my kids?’”

When strong waves of emotion come, you’re faced with two choices: You can resist them, or you can ride them, which means investigating what your emotions are trying to tell you. While resisting can lead to becoming submerged by your emotions, riding can lead to opportunities to move forward. The more you ride your grief waves, the more you’ll move closer to the “coastline” in your life (reestablishing a life without your spouse)—and the more you’ll find the waves easier to manage and less threatening.
