Are you experiencing sudden changes in behaviour?

As you experience grief, it is normal to have some changes in mood, but if you find that you are acting in ways that feel entirely unfamiliar, this may be cause for concern. Some things to look for: irrational anger, excessive drinking, drug use or destructive relationships.

When my nephew passed away I drank, heavily nightly. I would pour over photos of him, sob, drink, sob. I didn't realize at the time how bad I had gotten. It took a person outside my immediate family (my son's girlfriend) to help me see myself as I truly was.

yes, I guess I drink way too much. I also keep people at arms length. Friends I mean not my family.

I have changed no doubt about it.
