My mother passed away a little over two weeks ago, and this has been on my mind.
So my mother was sick. Really, really, really sick. In bed suffering for months. When she passed away, it wasn't at all surprised. According to a therapist, we as humans begin grieving when someone gets terminally ill; like the brain automatically prepares itself. And you know, I think that's true. I was ready as possibly could be, which is probably why, even the day after, I was still going to school, posting on cB, etc. Since then, I've been A-OK. My overall happiness has decreased, sure, but it's not like I'm hysterically grieving every day. But the pain comes in waves; I'm fine for a while, then out of nowhere I'm breaking down. Then I'm okay again. So the point is about truly grieving. Have you experienced true grief? What did you do while grieving? How did you deal with it? P.S. I mean this in the most sensitive manner: Please don't post in here with "I'm so sorry." because honestly, people who grieve (well at least this is how I feel) already know your sorry, and we're truly appreciative of your caring, but let's keep the discussion to grieving, hm?

I have a problem with grief.Ive been raised never to cry and when my grandmother and grandfather died[2 months apart],my favorite uncle[in a car accident] and then my half sister and her 2 kids [her insane husband shot them].this all happened within the 3 summer months.You would think my life would colapse.
I knew in my heart it wasnt good to dwell on it and i knew the show must go on. I finaly came apart when i had gone to the vet to talk about how my cat was to be buried or cremated. So i guess i do have yet to feel it all hit me hard and feel what real grief is. |
