Are you in the midst of grief?
Do you wonder if you’ll ever enjoy life again?
You may feel like you’re going "crazy" or "losing it." You’re not! You’re grieving the death of special person you dearly love.
```We grieve because we love and this is normal.
Normal grief throws ones life into chaos, mentally, emotionally physically and spiritually. It is painful and harder then you thought it would be. Finding out what is normal will help you hang on to hope and know that healing will come.
Here are some normal reactions to grief & loss:
- mixed up bundle of emotions
- forgetfulness
- numbness
- time distortion
- hopelessness
- deep ache in your soul
- disorganization & confusion
- trouble concentrating
- fatigue
- changes in appetite
- sleep disruption
- anxious, sad, apathy, fearful, teary, angry
- lack of motivation
- little or no zest for life
- questioning existence, life & death
- physical pain
- feeling like you're going "crazy"
This is a time to be gentle with yourself. Take one step at a time and allow yourself to heal. There is no “quick fix” or microwave solution. It takes time and effort to heal.
