Hello

[Lu2356]

It’s been a while since I have been here. My mom passed away September 7 and it has been a bit rough. Thank God I have been able to function, but yesterday was rough. I could barely think much talk when I had to take my truck in to get checked out. I felt overwhelmingly sad and tired and had a headache. I realized that it’s all part of my grieving. I also realized that there are certain people I can allow while doing so...

Hi Lu,

Glad you felt able to pop by! It is early days honey, and how you are feeling is part of the grieving process, it is not a linear thing, it is just that a process. There is no time frame to how long this will last. Grief affects everyone differently. Just go with the flow of your emotions. If you want to cry, then cry. If you want to rant, then rant. If you just want to be still and silent on your own, then do so. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Time will lessen the rawness of how you feeling at the moment, but your love and memories will always be there. Be gentle with yourself, take one moment, one step and one day at a time. Just pop by here anytime you feel like it...no pressure. We are here and listening and will be a virtual shoulder to cry on.

Take care of yourself.

Best wishes,

Hello Lu, welcome back

The loss of someone close can take quite a long time to recover from, you will suffer recall of memories and sadness. The best way will be to talk it out in the first instance although remember people will grieve for lost people we love throughout life, these memories are part of us. Our lives are full of bittersweet memories, that is what life is about. We take time to heal and it will take time to eventually be at peace with yourself and others around you
