I am a widow, losing my husband to suicide Seven weeks ago. I am completely in a rain fog and trying to understand what i am going through every day. it is helping listening to your wise words. Thank you.
Almost everyone we have worked with has felt the same way. Take it easy on you by lowering your obligations as much as you can, lower your expectations of yourself, get as much quality sleep as you can, and simply give yourself grace. Don't operate heavy duty machinery (kind of joking, but . . . well only partly joking) because (and I mean this in the nicest way) you aren't playing with a full deck. We sure weren't for quite a while after our own loses. And don't hesitate to ask someone to help support you on things that just seem too hard to do right now. You will survive. And, by taking good care of yourself (sleep, diet, mild exercise, maybe some counseling, and low self expectations) your healing can occur more smoothly and perhaps more quickly. Best to you.
Absolutely brilliant. I thank you so much.

Ty! I had no clue that this is what was going on with me I absolutely felt I was going crazy.
