I had a very hard time during a few of the national tragedies over the last couple of years. I was either directly impacted or one degree away and my anxiety got so high it was almost unbearable. I took some vacation days, went to the woods, cut off the internet for a few days, and decompressed by a lake. I had clarity after doing that and realized that I needed to seek some professional assistance to help manage my anxiety, which was triggering depression. Made some doc appts, got the help I needed (yes, including medicine). I haven’t felt this calm and in control of my life in many years and I’m mad I didn’t do it sooner.
Sometimes you just need to step away, unplug, detach, and be silent to figure out what you need. That’s what worked for me. Good luck! ❤️
It takes time and subsequent deaths make the situation more difficult. Just one foot in front of the other. When you need down time to cry take it. Hope it gets better
I'm so sorry for everyone's losses and the thing about grief, in my experience, is that you kind of don't know what feelings you're gonna have/ whe it's really gonna hit extra hard. Personally, I found that doing small little things to remember and honor my person help (like having a cup of the tea we used to share). Not everything to honor someone that passed has to be a big/public production. I found that involving nature helps too. Like I placed flower petals in water and planted a tree. I talk to my person everyday, and sometimes get signs. I read that when you acknowledge signs from people who have passed, you tend to find my signs because you are making it easier for them to reach you. I found this to be true. It's so so hard and I wish that we didn't have to experience this pain and things for me definitely have their highs and lows, but the beauty that I'm finding in grief is that it is a sign of the love that we experience(d ) . Doing things in his/her honor and acknowledging little signs is that they send us prove that we've had a love and bond so strong that not even death and break/shake it.
Time and talking about my feelings with family/friends was a huge contributor. If you’re a praying person, that was also another go to for me. Lost my cousin to a drunk driver this year, I can empathize with your pain. Sending you positive vibes 🙌🏽
Thanks for the advice kpmg1. My condolences I hope you get through it as well.
If it doesn’t get better soon, get professional help. Lost my mom then less than a year later woke to find my husband had died in his sleep of a massive heart attack. It’s HARD. Every day is hard. I see a therapist once a week who keeps me going (along with some medication). Couldn’t make it week to week without that extra help from a professional. Just keep in mind you might need to meet with a few before you find the right people to help you, but it’s worth the effort. I wish I’d gotten help sooner than I did
It's so hard! Nobody can truly understand your loss and how hard it is for you. This is the time where you have to take care you!! Do good things for your body, put only good natural foods in there. Meditate and get out in nature. Sit on a mountain, by a river or on a lake side and think loving thoughts about those you have lost. Know that they are with you and supporting you! You are so lucky to have had them in your life and you will forever have their energies and memories tied in with your own. Carry that love with you and know that it is eternal.
