Today is my 70 th Wedding Anniversary. I lost Paul 2 years ago this March. So, we were together 70 years, married for 68 yrs. The grief is with me every moment of everyday. I have lost my independence. Yes- I do identify with everything you said. But I can guarantee it will not be accepted. No- so in my very old age- I have to find my own joy. And, I will do that. I can not stop missing and needing Paul, but I can live with God's Grace in Gratitude that I had him for so long. And, this great big wonderful family that came from our marriage. Amen
I guess I hide my grief well. I lost a few family members, all within 9 months time. Two were sudden deaths. The last one being my dad. I was too busy getting his affairs in order, no time to grieve. I’ve locked my emotions. He’s been gone over 13 years now, and I still haven’t grieved. I do have nightmares quite often, were I’m yelling and screaming at him, fighting him. Asking him why he took off on us. It’s disturbing to say the least. I’m on meds to keep it at bay. The others appear in my dreams from time to time. I don’t even know why I’m writing all this. Maybe I’m losing my humanity.
You’re not losing your humanity, you’re overflowing with it and your brain doesn’t know where to put it all. Try journaling to process the feelings and get them out. I hope you find peace and joy again soon. 🖤
Normal....try meditating (joel Goldsmith) or a course in miracles. It's been 13 years for me and I having grieved yet, but have dreams venting strong emotions which is a good thing until i can bringvtgem up and out consciously
I lost my 40 yo son in late 2020, COVID. Fit and healthy, then gone, in another country when I couldn’t get to him for confirmation. September 2021 ashes flown back, no proper burial. No family, his colleagues only and his wife and my granddaughter. My children, adults with their own children, never mention him. I am not the same anymore. I’m the life and soul of the party, the comforter. I laugh, I play with my grandchildren, and 2 new babies, i child mind. I’m retired, 47 years as a nurse, never seen colleagues since. But I’m not the same person any more. I don’t think my husband , not his father, has any idea what’s going on in my head and my body. His actual father died a few years before, my 2nd husband died 6 months before my son, in may 2020.

No it's just a trip 😔

@ thank you. I’ll have a look at those ☘️
I have chronic pain and fibromyalgia. My pain was a firm 10 for several months after my son died. He died December 31, 2023.
May he rest in peace - we are sorry for your loss.
I disagree. YOU must take things personally in order to grow mentally and emotionally. Feel it, fix it, and then move on with your life.
Thanks, @georgiafrancis9059. I think Margaret would agree, this video pertains to the first part of what you say - "feel it."
I am so darn angry,,,,,,true.
It’s to late💔
