Grief is a form of insanity. I needed to hear that, thank you.

I lost my son to cancer three months ago. It was horrible. I’ll never be the same.

Friends, colleagues, and even other family members do not need to understand—they just need to let you be. Unless you've gone through grief, there is no way to understand. However, one can have empathy without understanding.

I lost my son to fentanyl poisoning 7 months ago. Not only do I feel crazy, I feel like I have brain damage. The pain is horrific.

[Blackcatt]

Thank you for sharing. I’ve shared this with my FB friends who are grieving the loss of their children, parents, etc.

Glen, this was a nice nice idea. 💡 I really enjoyed to see that Texas Pictures Documentaries provided some help or an answer to those who are going through the horrible process of grieving a love one. Just the word “process” sounds awful to me, because makes me think that will be (one day) something of the past, which means (*** my love one will be something of the past !?!) … this terrifies me. But it is not my love one is the grieving, but grieving means the sorrow, the pain of loosing some one who I love so much ! … so how can my pain stop ? … my pain of loosing him ?! … but I completely understand… it is not a pain that can stay because it is horrible - it doesn’t mean you got used to live without your love one, just only that you have passed the excruciating torment. The mind, the heart, the body cannot carry on with this type of pain, it is detrimental. The body, the mind, the heart has to get stronger and stronger and recover from the shock. You will never forget your love one. Oh God, just to express myself was so so excruciating hard.
Thank you for helping us providing answers for the grieving souls.

I read The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. It's her story of how she dealt with the sudden passing of her husband.

In my case grief WAS crazy. Seriously… I was committed to the nut house bc of critical depression. Ya know… the kind where to don’t off yourself but you don’t function at all… ya don’t eat… ya don’t bathe … you basically live under your covers. Slowing killing yourself… so in some case grief can actually be crazy

[geminiecricket]

No I do not do it correctly! I do it an hour at a time 7 months now and it is up and down and it is any old trigger I never see it coming . Roller coaster of hell!

My husband had cancer iam not doing good

[libragal]

So I'm not going crazy it's my grief, either way it's horrible 😢

[libragal]

Sucks because you can't just hide away in your bedroom forever, you have to get up and do life everyday. I've had one too many losses but the last one, , my big brother, completely broke me. Life is like a dream now...like walking around in a fog. I'll never be ok again. 😢
