I have thought about grief counseling but I don't think the way I'm grieving needs to be fixed.

Grief doesn't consume me and I am still able to enjoy things. My sobriety is strong. I don't believe that there is anything that can be done.

My 28 yr old daughter died and I'm heart broken. I'd say that is pretty normal. Doesn't make it suck any less but normal

I'm so sorry, MIR... I'm going through my own current version of this, just the other way around, with my elderly father, who is alive and often in good spirits, but is declining fast. It is so hard and sometimes my feelings are so chaotic I get quite lost at times. But I am here with him, trying to make the best out of what we have left...
I can't imagine doing this relative to my child. My heart goes out to you.

Based on your posts, your feelings and grieving does seem very healthy and normal and I admire your strength. On the counseling, perhaps your process does not need to be fixed or changed, but maybe just talking about it in detail with someone might help? I certainly can't wait to get to my therapist and unload some of this with him... I think I'm dealing relatively well, but maybe there are methods and thought processes I am not aware of and that would help.

You are in my thoughts.

That's entirely your call of course

I didn't mean to imply that you're not reacting in a normal appropriate way MIR - tragedy is tragedy.

I don't think you are capable of making anything other than a gentle and caring comment.

At the end of that day what I want is my daughter back but that is impossible. Some days are better than others and today is a bad one

((((MIR))))

I know there is not a fix but I can send my prayers, love and hope to you.

She is in a far better place looking over you as we speak.

My heartfelt condolences coming your way!
