how do you get over a suicide
How do I completely forgive my late husband of what I thought was a very happy and fulfilling 49 year marriage, of infidelity with sex workers for over 3 1/2 years? This knowledge along with his sudden death complicates my grief journey. So many things to sort out…why he revealed this sordid part of him just months before he died…did he tell me to punish me…what happened to him? We had just started working with a counselor to try to find these answers and then God took him. Why do I find it so very hard to come to terms with the whole situation? My head knows what he did but my heart is still so broken and instead of focusing on the happy life I had with him all I can think of is the utter betrayal of a marriage which I believed to be sacred.
