People have rituals, and they are important in your day to day life. It may be as simple as a cup of coffee right after you wake up, before you do anything else, maybe it's that you sleep on the right side of the bed, or it could even be that you always take a bubble bath before putting your pajamas on then going to bed.
Whatever your rituals, they are important. If they are disturbed, then it's hard for you to carry on with your normal routine.
I think it's part of why things in general seem so overwhelming and hard when a spouse dies. They are a part of your day to day ritual. And until you accept and establish new rituals, everything is off.
I feel I have re-established some rituals for myself. It has made life in general so much easier. I think it's part of the same concept as to why some husbands and wives don't sleep well if their spouse isn't home with them "like normal" at night. They are just used to each other's nightly rituals.
It's sometimes the little things that you don't notice.
It really is the little things that are so important :)
