As most know my gma died on mon. The simple things have been setting me off wanting to go into a crying fit. This morn. I saw trash all over my counter now normally I would just tell all the kids to get their butts in there and clean it up. not this morn I just started to cry. Yesterday Is misplaced my keys and started to cry then I ran my SUV in the ditch! Then mon I ran a red light! Dh said he was worried about me as I seem to be walling in a daze! I am I am not like this.

Anyone else have this experience??

Awwww I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. When I'm overwhelmed, it's not the big things that do me in, it's the little stuff that send me over the edge. I think that's pretty normal. You're grieving and extra stressed because of your aunt. Maybe you should have somebody drive you around, if possible, until you can concentrate again. Thankfully you didn't get hurt. Have you considered seeing a doctor and maybe getting some medication to help you over the worst part of this? Please be careful and try and pamper yourself a little.

Yes - it is a fog like exsistence. I have very little memories of the days after my husbands death. Just don't do anything for a few days. Stay home and vegetate. You are grieving and for everyone it is different. But, in order to be safe just stay home for awhile. If it doesn't start to alleviate after a week, you may need to see a doctor about anti-depressants. I have lost a child and a husband and have had to do them for about 6 months with one and 9 months with the other one. They work and it is like a kick start. You may not need it, but you have to give yourself permission to grieve for a couple of days.

Just stay home and enjoy Net Flix on the DVR and don't do a damn thing but think....it really helps.

Thanks ladies my gma helped raised me and I lived with her starting at 14 to about 16 but I still lived right next to her til I was 18. Then I lived a block from her from a long time. My poor mom is being very snippy the last couple of days. I know she is just missing gma and sad. Gma was a wonderful person. So many memories. We are putting together a pic college and I'm having a hard time with it.
