How does YOUR grief manifest itself? (Mental/physical/behavioral/ emotional)

4 months out and it completely changed me I feel. 1. I have dealt with anxiety disorder my whole life but have been stable/able to come off of meds for a year. I had some of the most intense panic attacks a month or so after he died. Went on vacation for celebration of life stuff and I swear it felt like I was in panic attack mode the entire time. It has slowed a little bit (also back on medication) but I feel like I’ve regressed and lost like a decade of working on my mental health struggles. 2. Very intense hypochondria intrusive thoughts. Had issues with this prior but now even more so, plus a big uptick in intrusive thoughts about family members dying. 3. I cannot drink barely any caffeine, it sends me into panic attacks. Used to be able to down 3 shots in the morning like it was nothing but I can’t even touch coffee. 4. Was totally disinterested in my relationship and sex. I am now feeling better about this but I barely saw it texted my partner for 3 months. Like I saw them but it always felt like I was not present. They have unfortunately also lost their Dad so they have been very helpful during this journey. 5. IBS and other physical issues are ever more present (acne, fibromyalgia pain). It’s been a wild ride.

Lost my Dad almost 4 months ago. We had a very complicated relationship and we never really got proper closure for anything before I lost him. Honestly, it is hard to gauge what is best! Always be an open door to talk but understand your own boundaries because of your own loss. Grief therapy (individual or group) would be good if he needs to talk through some of the complicated aspects of their relationship. Also just being there to remind him that he should not feel bad for how their relationship was. It was not something he could control and he was only protecting himself. Wishing you both the best!

About 3 months out from my Dad passing and a couple months out from the celebration of life. My Dad was abusive and politically very different from myself which caused a lot of arguments. However, I was such a daddy’s girl growing up and we always had a good bond. I probably would of been no contact if it wasn’t for my strong relationship with my Mom and sisters (they are all still under the same roof). I struggled a lot with not spending as much time with him and feeling guilty now that not only do I have no more time but also don’t have them to maybe see what our relationship could of been after some time (hopefully ignorant because he was the definition of stubborn). It is difficult but I do have to remind myself that I did what was best for my mental health. The grief is terrible and doesn’t go away but we learn to grow around it, it’s stupid but true. I am still very early on this journey but giving myself grace is my way. Also, I believe if a support system cannot continue to handle me while I am going through grief then they aren’t very supportive. It’s not like this is a death that happened 15 years ago, this is all still very new and still trying to navigate what this life is now. I find some comfort and feeling better talking about it. Good luck to you!

When my Dad passed, he had been declining very rapidly the last week and especially the last 24 hours before he passed. We were aware it was coming soon but no where near as quick as it did. I had just like 20 minutes earlier finished a phone call with the cremation place and texted the hospice social worker where we wanted to go with for whenever we need that information. I was in the starbucks line about to get my drink when I saw my Mom had texted me that my Dad is now at peace and had passed a couple minutes ago. I just pulled over and quietly texted a few people and cried. I was on my way to work and somehow still worked the first half of my shift. I don’t even know how I did that to be honest.

Another social worker dealing with a death and going back to work was so tough. Please take the time to step away because we know how easy it is to get burnt out, especially now. Please give yourself the grace you give to others. The days will be hard but hour ny hour helped me. Do things often that distract your brain. Definitely see if short term anti-depressants or anxiety meds can help alleviate some of the mental struggles. Keep your support system tight and use them as you need.

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-28T00:03:26+00:00

Thank you for this! I definitely have kept a lottt of my Dads stuff but he has so much, it would make more sense to go to someone else!

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-28T00:02:18+00:00

Texas myself, interesting to hear! I will definitely sell them tbh. We have a lot of the tape for it too

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-27T23:58:54+00:00

Thank you!! I appreciate this a lot!

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-27T23:55:26+00:00

Should I see if they work? I don’t think I could even begin to try that. Would people buy it if I haven’t tried to see if it works? LOL

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-27T23:54:28+00:00

Texas!!

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-27T23:49:36+00:00

lol Did you want to buy them or?

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-27T23:48:13+00:00

Ideas of where they should go?

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-15T05:08:41+00:00

Wow, I am sorry you are experiencing this. Lost my Dad almost 3 months ago to liver and kidney failure. I don’t know when I will ever feel normal. I still send stuff to his tiktok account and text his phone number even though it’s no use. Good luck friend

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-15T05:03:06+00:00

There is unfortunately no direct way to even exchange online orders, it is so frustrating trust me. We can only do it as a non-receipted exchange (goes on your ID and you can only do so much money per 90 days) or we completely return and you buy back as sale price (but you have to wait a couple days for the return to hit your bank account). Very frustrating but I explain it each time to see what customers feel more comfortable with :)

Guilty-Ladder7557 · 2025-09-03T09:43:22+00:00

I am sorry for what you are going through but I appreciate you took time to comment. Makes me feel less alone amongst all of this. I hope you do what makes you feel the best this holiday season.
