Thank you for your video and also for sharing your personal grief. This thing called grief lives with us and is like a tsunami. The pain and emptiness comes in waves and never goes away even after 17 months.
Hi Sarah, I'm so sorry you lost your brother. It's interesting what you said about initial grief lasting upto 2 years. When my mother died in 2004, I was a new driver, and often used to spend motorway journeys to my new p/t job in Winchester, in tears - probably not recommended! I often pondered how ironic it was, that when Fleur died in 2014, that I was also a "new" driver, although not "properly" new. Although I spent much of my time in tears, ironically I didn't cry while driving. The grief was different, only this time, far worse. A particular school, who I won't mention for legal reasons(!) carried on being absolutely hateful to me, upto 18 months after her death. When I sued them for disability discrimination, they said I had an alleged disability! I've never endured such suffering over a 5 year span. Exactly 5 years to the month of my riding accident, I suddenly got a church organist job, which I realise was God's doing as the healing through my increased Faith, has been incredible. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" - QED. PS. I liked your reference to neuro rehab!
I understand. My partner died at 55 suddenly of a cardiac arrest, two weeks ago. It's like a bad dream and you just can't wake up. I'm so sorry this happened to you. These videos help make sense of the feelings. ❤ 🙏
