Am I Going Crazy?

My wife, the love of my life died 2 years ago in a car accident. We worked together, played together and her breath was my breath. I cannot mourn for her because I can still feel her, smell her, hear her. My friends and family are very concerned about me and think that I am in total denial about the fact that she is gone. She is not gone to me! Am I going crazy?

No you are not going crazy. You are, and will forever be connected to your wife, the love of your life. You may never stop feeling her, smelling her and hearing her and that is perfectly wonderful. When we lose someone that we love we often choose to do one of two things, shut them out of our thoughts and feelings because it hurts so much or embrace them as we soothe ourselves with the vivid and very detailed memories of their presence. Everyones process is different and as long as you feel that your connection with your wife is assisting you in maintaining your own connection with yourself than you will be fine. Down the road you may choose to maintain your connection with your wife as you begin to make room for another.
