Stuck at an emotional crossroad
2 weeks 5 days ago

I feel like i'm at a crossroad at the moment.
It's nearly coming up to four months (next wk) since Ben (husband) has passed.
I'm going through all the emotions of losing someone so close and dear to me but also are feeling like I need to get back on the wagon of life (so to speak) and try to move forward with my own life. I know that this is what Ben would of wanted for me but I have these terrible guilty feelings that maybe I should't be.
I keep thinking about what others may think or worse actually what they may say to me (negative rather than positive words).
