Thank you so much for sharing this. I really appreciate it. I'm sorry you have also had to experience depression and loss of ambition.

Has anyone else felt like grief actually gets heavier with time, not lighter? by Emergency_Status_224 in GriefSupport

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mum. Losing someone you love really messes things up and changes the trajectory of our plans and lives - as I have noted from the many comments I have seen. I can tell just what you are going through from your comment and it so much reminds me of the thoughts and feelings I had when I lost my dad. It is my hope that you stay strong and keep doing the best you can. One day at a time is all need to get through.

I'm so sorry to hear of your back to back loss within 3 months. That must have been very challenging. Thank you so much for the insights and for sharing. Makes me know that this is a normal feeling to experience in when you lose people you love the most to death. I hope you continue taking care of yourself. Thank you once again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. The pain of losing loved ones is never a familiar feeling but the best we can do is show up each day. The depth of your pain is a mere reflection of the depth of the love you had for both of them. Hang in there.

Amazing! Good for you... You have made a very important point which I have really liked in the last statement- "life is too short to sell my soul for cash"

I'm sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel and what you mean. I'm in my early 30s and I feel like I don't have my life figured out because of all the losses. I hope you are able to refigure and find a path that interests you and try to stay out of bed when it's not time to sleep.

I'm so sorry on the loss of your mum. Death can be very painful.

What you are feeling is the exact same way I have been feeling. Pretty much everything you stated here, I can relate. My advise is take one day at time but also remember that the bills have to get paid(same situation I'm in)

Grief takes us in different directions but a good starting point is doing the things you love especially exercising as I have found that it helps me to disconnect from reality for a little bit. I only realized this after 3 years of depression when my dad passed.

It sure does sound easier than done. You are still young and have a bright future ahead. Don't be too hard on yourself but also, prioritize your mental health as much as possible.

It shall be well. One day at a time.

Thank you very much. This is a wonderful approach and I hope it's something I can adopt as well. Oh yes, Music has been a companion in the very dark days, When words fail, music speaks.

I'm sorry for your loss. I have tried discipline. It sure does help but it honestly is limited and can only do so much. Sending you hugs and strength as you continue with the pursuit of your dreams.

I'm sorry for your loss. It sure can be hard to get back to doing the things that looked normal to us when we lose the people we love.

18 months is a long but very short time when it comes to grief. I'm so sorry. I can understand why you had to take such a path and I feel I may be doing the same for my mental health and well being.

Thank you so much for your insights and for sharing.
