I have just had an epiphany. I was speaking on the phone with my daughter and she said she missed me a few times and then I said I missed her. But really, I don’t miss her at all. I love seeing her when she visits but I really don’t miss her, as long as she is happy and alive it’s all good. Then I thought I don’t miss anyone except my beloved and my Mom, who is dead. I now realize, after eight years a widow and unbeknownst to me, I have built an emotional wall. I came across this and found it to be helpful and I will be following those steps to help me, tear down that emotional wall. I hope it can help someone here. [whatsyourgrief.com]

I think I lean towards walling myself off as well. I go from wanting to do things and right now I find myself backing out and wanting to be alone.

I have isolated myself, with good reason. I am still very tearful at times and simply don't want to be around other people, or to hear them try to comfort me when I cry. I find that I come to this site daily to get my mind off the sadness I feel every day. The different groups are interesting and help me look at life from a different perspective. In time I'll get back to doing people again, but right now my dogs are enough for me.

I've isolated myself. I don't know why. Everything has changed and none for the better.
