Like so many I’m expected to bounce right back and be productive, so I’m very slowly trying to function again. I’m off work this week, thankfully. I feel so weak and tired...and miss her so much. It’s important to stay sober and stay connected. I know there are many here that know how I feel right now, 5 days after she left this world. It’s hard to acknowledge and tempting to run myself down with tasks but I need to feel what I need to to heal. Maybe short bursts of things, then rest. I had groceries delivered as it’s difficult to drive. My focus is gone and nothing seems real.
