It’s been six months and you are wondering why you somehow feel worse, and not better. Could it be that the shock is wearing off? The full impact of your loss is upon you. The shock is no longer dulling your pain. How does it feel? How can you deal with it and get thru this time? It may be helpful to know that this is normal. Grieving is a process. You are going through different stages. They can be quite painful and may be strange to you. You may not have experienced these feelings before and they can be quite frightening. Others have been there before and may be able to provide help. Resources for coping, grieving and bereavement are available at the HelpGuide.org website. |
