I lost my husband suddenly 2 months ago. He was 58, and I just turned 60. We were living a very good life. I've been doing pretty good since he died (basically). Seeing a therapist, practicing self love, etc. But this morning when I woke up I was chock full of anger. Like wanted to punch a wall angry. Was very confused and sad and spent the whole day snarky. Now I'm glad to know that anger is a part of it, so I'll sit with it, I'll talk to my therapist on Wednesday. But I wanted to thank you because I thought I was losing my mind. Grief is so individual and universal at the same time. Thank you for your explanation of anger.

I get so angry at my husband of 28 years for leaving me! (He was 53). He was sick with diabetes but died suddenly of a massive heart attack. In a 10 minute span, my life changed forever. Some days I blame him for leaving and not being here to take care of me or "being" with me!! When I'm alone I yell at him. I still love him but now the life I once knew is gone. I hate this new life and I tell him all the time.

Angry can be a huge mask. A wise person once told me anger is usually fear or pain and to try and determine which emotion was actually causing the anger. It has helped me several times. But in my recent grief it can be so difficult to handle. Sometimes I'm angry at everyone and everything for no actual reason, so I suppose it must be the pain of my loss and trying to cope.

I’m 20. I lost my dad who was never there on 12.15.2023 and then now I lost my baby at 8 weeks pregnant on 1.26.24. I feel so much rage. I didn’t even get the opportunity to go through the 5 stages of grieving over my dad. I immediately had to mourn the loss of my son. I feel really angry at the world rn 💔

It feels like I'm angry all the time. The moment I realise my husband is really gone, I'm angry at him for leaving, I'm angry at God for taking him so soon, at the drs as I don't feel they've done what they could to save him. I'm angry for waking up in the morning, alone for yet another day. Thank you Joe for your videos. It does help, sometimes it just take time to sink in.

I am so angry. Mostly at myself for failing to protect my son and failing to rescue him when he needed me most and for putting him in harm's way. He died at 27 years. I am angry with all the other enablers and cruel people that hurt my son and didn't care about him:- family court, social workers, justice system...I've fuelled my anger...it's safer to stay away from people. I feel grief, fear and anger in my stomach...also with the anger is mistrust of humans and disgust

I've been doing a lot of grief work. Shocked ro discover the emotion of hate in the soup of feelings. I came to hate my beloved for the tremendous strain of caregiving. I felt squashed and suffocated by the 24/7 care he needed. I hated him. This sane person I am grieving for, the sane beloved that I miss so very much. And this just opens a roar of guilt. Horrible guilt.
I feel like I've been stuck in that same day. Tomorrow hasn't cone in three years. Gosh. Sad tears. Angry tears. Everything tears. Always tears.

I feel as I am living in a nightmare. A horrible nightmare that i can’t get any. Reprieve from

I lost my partner of nine years March 6th and I am angry at my self. I wished I could have said more done more. It was unexpected and I found her unresponsive. I have changed my relationships have changed. The people I needed the most like my mother and Father I realized they could not help or do not understand my grief even though they themselves have experienced tremendous loss. I am so glad that I found you because as I am learning to live with this pain I feel disconnected, angry, sad, and utterly lost. I have friends but I realized they too are broken. Now I realize that I need to heal and that I need healthy people around me to do so. I have a 16 year old daughter and she is like a breath of fresh air during this time. I am so glad that I have her because if not I would be able to keep pushing. Great channel keep helping those especially those whom may be suffering alone 🙏

My anger has been intense. My husband of 41yrs succumbed to injures sustained in a MVA. Our adult children, struggling with everything that comes with young parenthood and their own relationships, are devastated. His death set off a chain reaction that almost overwhelmed us. I’m not angry with him, I’m not angry with his dying. I’m angry because of other people’s insensitive, incomprehension and insouciance, and the willful harm that has been done. I miss him so much and haven’t had the time or space to grieve because just surviving has been all-consuming. I can almost see the light at the end of this long tunnel. He died 7 months ago on Saturday.

I lost my son in July. I love listening to your videos. You've been a great help to me.

[harrydeanbrown]

Yet another helpful video, Jo. Thanks.

I lost my Dad 4 months ago. I have always had issues with anger but I have been able to learn to control it over the years. I can't lately and I feel very aggressive, often without knowing why.

[katyholroyd]

This is very much my problem for ages now with the loss of the person I loved very much and was going to marry, the thoughrs distortion is true too looking forward to watching to help me

[katyh]

Thank you for all your talks about grief. I’m grieving so much right now, not only physical losses but also my health that I’m trying to get back and feels impossible, and I just lost my beloved loyal close friend as I’m my cat. It’s so intense and your talks help me when I feel hopeless x

[karenbird]

Thank you for helping to normalize the anger in this process. Before I listened to this I had a very confusing outburst of anger and it made me feel so incredibly out of control and afraid. I guess because I was taught as a small child that my anger was not acceptable to express. I think that is a common thing, but I was not expecting the enormity of how it manifested. Anyway, deep love to all who are suffering in their heart and soul with the anguish of loss.❤

Hi I diffuse my anger through watching Bob Ross he has such a calming effect

[jennifershort]

I have been angry with my father for dying suddenly and having nothing in place leaving me and my siblings to figure out all the arrangements and how to pay for everything that goes with that. I'm angry with him for not having at least one emergency contact on file in the office at his apartment complex. I'm angry my brother found out that my dad was dead when the coroner called him to ask where to send the body. All this makes me angry because the storm of my grief for my father has been delayed and extended as a result.
Don't even get me started on my mother's death because it's much newer and my limit around people is still very brief.

[linzgudmunsen]

My anger has no "source" and that's what frustrates me. It's like undirected rage. I get just filled with rage but i don't wave to take it out on anyone. I'm not mean to anyone. It's just there and can't be quelled.
I work a high stress, demanding job. I know anger. It's always got a direction it goes. This goes nowhere. I'm not even mad at my late husband. I'm just mad.
