Grief can often leave us feeling disillusioned, distraught, and alone in the world. Initially, others say “If there is anything you need, just let me know, okay?” We nod and say “Thank you, not knowing what we even need.” After the first two weeks support from the community, friends, and family starts to diminish. The thought enters our mind “Have they forgotten…” It’s normal for us to feel angry and resentful because the world keeps going on like nothing happened when we are frozen in time.

It's hard to find our footing when every waking moment is filled with deep yearning and sorrow. We just want them back! The devastation of it all may lead to heart palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pains, digestive issues, lack of appetite, body heaviness, extreme fatigue, and lack of concentration is further impacted by insomnia. Others don’t understand how we cannot get out of bed, take a shower, and forget to brush our teeth.

I get it. EVERY. THING. is so HARD. I have had days like this too, at times I still do, but, they have also changed. These times are more manageable.
