I feel like I'm struggling with alot of stuff right now specifically grief.
I've lost alot of family since 2020 that have been vital parts of my life in different ways, mostly my childhood. Im missing my lost loved ones alot right now and ive tried to be strong about it and not really cry or anything. But, in random moments where im perfectly find I'll think about them and want to cry or try forcing the tears back in. My grandma passed last year and I never really grieved her death but, it affects me alot. Her death brought me alot of realizations to the value of my own life. However, Ive always hated how when someone dies we go back to our lives like nothing happend.
Im kind of afraid to talk about my grief with my therapist because its a very hard topic for me. I also think alot about being a burden, as I know we all go through loss at some point in our life. I kinda feel like talking about my losses and just the grieving process would almost be like a burden or insensitive in a way. Is it? I'd never want to burden someone with my problems. But, the point of therapy is to talk about your probelms and heal. So, yea I dont really know how to feel and my grief/grieving process is confusing me.
Sorry for your losses. Losing people is a hard thing and you are allowed to talk about it if you want, that doesn’t make you a burden. The grief process is unique and different and personal, so people can process it at different times and in different ways and that’s OK. You are right loss does make you reflect on life but that’s not a bad thing. It is a strange this that life has to keep on going and back to normal but it will always be a new normal. Maybe try to remember that your loved ones would want you live and be happy. Hold on to the special memories and try to laugh and talk about them. Think about talking to your therapist that’s what counseling is for. Text or call anytime at 888-222-2228. Here is a resource that talks about grief as well and maybe it can help …https://good-grief.org/resources/#about
During grieving, it's important to remember that you are not alone. Your feelings of sadness, loss, and heartache are valid, and it's okay to take the time you need to process and heal. And you should Lean on your loved ones for support, and allow yourself to feel and express your emotions. Remember that healing takes time, and it's okay to seek professional help. Be kind to yourself, practice self-care, and know that getting help is sign of strength. You are strong, resilient, and deserving of love and compassion as you navigate this journey of grief. You are not alone, and there is hope for healing and peace in the days ahead.
