Dealing with Lose

I lost my brother in October and I'm not dealing with it very well. I feel like my body is shutting down and I don't know how to stop it or if I even want to. I feel like life just isn't worth living anymore. How do I get rid of these thoughts?

I'm so sorry for you loss, I understand how painful this is.

Grief isn't a quick process. It's a huge life adjustment that for some can take many months.

The only thing you can do is ride out the process.

We do have a bereavement group here on HU. Have you joined?

I lost my daughter in 2021 and the grief can still overwhelm me. Give yourself time to walk through the process. Allow your grief to manifest itself. I’m sorry for your loss.

Aww babe. I lost my mom three years ago and I'm so freaking angry at the world still, I also suffer from substance abuse and I can no longer deal with the grief on my own will. It's like I will never heal. Also I lost custody last year if my two kids and I can't get over it. I just can't. The loss is tremendously difficult. If you figure anything out lmk. But seriously you're not alone. Remember that

I lost my son and my mom a few years back. Loss is a scary thing because you start to think all of these weird thoughts. You should find a grief counselor by looking it up on Google and getting one near you or one of those new lower cost ones online. They can help manage your grief and figure out some coping strategies. Hope this helps!! Just try and be patient with yourself.
