All natural, and not to be avoided (very hard and confronting sometimes).
I still miss my Mum and have a cry, and it's been well over a decade. Sending you big hugs.xx
I think I’m not used to feeling anything much. I drank for 35 years, since I was 15. I guess I numbed out all the hard things with alcohol. Now I’m experiencing the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with, and the intense raw emotion is sometimes so overwhelming. I think after having to suppress my grief the last few weeks of being in ongoing social situations, now means that as I’m alone now, all the pent up grief is pouring out.
And I’m getting a headache. I really need to make myself get up out of bed and make myself a coffee.
Thank you Calmerwaters
