I'm not handling it well. I don't feel like seeing anyone, talking to anyone and I don't really feel much like leaving the house. I'm not crying but I'm just not right, something is off. I've almost stopped posting on my boards. I saw my Nurse Practitioner yesterday and she said it was normal to grieve, the symptoms were normal under the circumstances.

I just miss her very much. cry

:(
I felt like that when my dad died. I felt completely numb
I couldn't even pray. I wasn't mad at God I didn't lose my faith but I wanted my dad back and there was no way God could give that to me

they are normal. It takes time and there is no limit. So try to go with it. I think it is easier that way. I am so sorry for your loss. It is hard when we lose somebody close to us, but go easy on yourself. There are no rules to grief.

Hang in there.

Hugs, Karen...

My sincere sympathies to you. For me, it's been over 20 years now, but still feels like yesterday at times. It is the most disorienting experience, I think. To have that anchor line cut...to be adrift in this universe. It takes time to get our bearings.

I try to remind myself that, while I don't feel 'ready' my parents spent their lifetime teaching me and preparing me the best they could for the days I would spend without their physical presence.

Go ahead and take the time to 'reset' your brain for the future. Take one day at a time.
