One of the hardest things I'm facing right now is the lost feeling. Everyday I grab my phone and I want to call her up. She isn't there anymore though. What do I do? Find someone new? Start talking to the heavens when I'm driving?
Would people think me nuts?
I considered therapy, seriously considered it, last week. The thought has faded a bit, still wondering if I should just give it a shot.
I miss her, so much.
It took me about a year after my dad died to seek out support. I went to a group for adults who had lost their parents sponsored by a local hospice in a city near where I lived. It was tremendously helpful for me to be with others who had lost their parents and who were able to share their emotions around such a life-altering event.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that didn't quite fit the bill was that I was, at 32, the youngest adult there; all of the others had had more time with their parent who had died and I found myself occasionally feeling very angry at, somehow, having been cheated out of having more my time with my dad.
I would imagine that there's a 'grief group' out there for you. If you don't have the energy to do the research, then, maybe, you could ask your partner or a trusted friend or relative to help you with that.x
oh this hurts my heart. i'm know it's hard and hurts. I would recommend going to talk to someone. a grief group or a therapist. i've been to a therapist a few times and it helped me a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt was probably three or four months after dad died, that we had a good theraputic talk about him. Give it time. It will happen when it happens.
