Mourning the death of my former husband (father of my 3 kids). [View all]

[CTyankee]

He died a couple of weeks ago at age 88. Ironically, I had visited him in the rehab after he suffered a stroke. My son and his wife brought me, on the way to my daughter's summer home. He died about a week after we saw him.

I have been married to my second husband now for over 30 years so you'd think I'd be over "the former guy." But I still rehash events from my first marriage that were awful, regrettable, hurtful and can't stop them. I'm guessing this is normal and it's one of those stages of grief. There is certainly anger, that's really big right now.

How long does this stage generally last? I feel like I am stuck in a revolving door...
