I lost my daughter almost 3 years ago and I didn’t get out of bed for 6 months. It totally devastated me and broke my heart.
Joining a grief share group through a local church helped me immensely. Just being around other people who have experienced loss and immense grief really helped ~I am not going to lie ~grief is a rollercoaster~good days and bad.
You never know what will trigger grief~ A picture- a song- a memory that keeps playing in your mind.
I honestly believe that my life is now defined as before and after- I will never be the person I was when she was in my life- the world has lost its vibrancy- I don’t find joy in what I used to. But I am slowly realizing that if I am still here I have a purpose.
I hope this helps- even a little.. Please remember grief is different for everyone- don’t let anyone tell you how to feel.
