“Many grieving people simply suffer alone in the weirdness of grief, wondering if they’ve lost their minds on top of everything else.” — Megan Devine (www.refugeingrief.com)
Grief is a full body and brain experience. Nothing feels right. Nothing feels normal. You can’t think. You can’t remember where you put your glasses or that the electricity bill still needs to be paid. You’re in a fog, a brain fog, and you wonder if there is any path out.
Be assured, all this is normal. Don’t trust your memory — write EVERYTHING down. Use an app on your phone or a pen and paper notebook. Don’t trust that you’ve checked your To Do list — check it again. Or maybe even three times.
Your mind will come back to you — but it won’t hurry. Be patient with yourself and know that normal is everything you are experiencing right now. Normal just doesn’t feel normal.
