In the span of 14 months (about 10 years ago) I lost both my parents and my partner ended our relationship. I called it the trifecta of loss. I had so much to do to close my parent's estate, move into my own place, etc. that I didn't grieve the losses. My therapist feels that this unexpressed grief may be a part of why my anxiety and panic returned earlier this year.
If anyone knows of an online grief support community I would appreciate hearing about it. I've joined Grief In Common but it doesn't seem very active...actually it kinda looks like a hook-up site, but I may be misinterpreting some of the posts.
Thanks!
Hi battersea,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I don’t know of any online grief support forums/groups, but recently came across a book written by Alan Wolfelt, “Understanding Your Grief.” There’s also a companion workbook that I bought, and it helps work through some of those emotions through writing. I accidentally bought the journal workbook instead of the actual book it’s based on, but the workbook has been helpful in my own grieving.
Thank you anxiousbuthopeful1...I'll look into it.
