Today is such a hard day

[Pommy99]

I have gone back and forth the last few days feeling like I will be okay, feeling like I am detaching, to feeling so much grief, to feeling so MAD at him (so not detaching I guess).

Hi OG, what a nightmare about the phone! I hope it’s salvageable.

I am cycling through all the emotions you describe, and it is sometimes overwhelming. I like to feel like I am detaching and suddenly I think about the reality of what is happening and I hit the floor with grief. How do you deal with the grief? I sometimes find a really good cry helps drain some of the negative emotions away, but it’s not always practical to have a big cry (e.g at work). I’ve never had to deal with a close family bereavement as an adult , and I feel so ill-equipped to deal with any kind of grief. I’m trying to get myself from denial to acceptance but it’s hard. I guess these emotions are all a normal part of the process. Keep strong and keep holding your head high. You are doing amazingly ! X
