Oh Sweetie! I really feel for you. I haven't had any deaths, but I've had a lot of separations happen all at once and it feels awful. So I'm sure you are super overwhelmed.

Listen, I know you're going to hate this answer (because I hate it when people give it to me) but time. Time is the only thing.

My best friend also just said to me a few minutes ago "Routines and Schedules are your best friends right now." And she's right.

This multi-faceted grief that you are going through is so tough. Don't think you can accomplish it or beat it. Just know that one day (i pray sooner than later for you) that you'll realize you didn't even know it was gone.

And cry if you need to. I cry myself out sometimes like a baby that's overtired. It can be cleansing.

I cry everyday, while trying to make my way through the divorce process. I try and keep busy with my job and my daughter. But most days I can barely get through my work day. I fell like I am coming out of my skin. It is very exhausting. I know there is no magic pill, and time does help. But days like today, are just aweful. Thank you for the kind words

That was me yesterday and today...crawling out of my skin. It is exhausting. I'm so sorry you have to go through it.

And I am sorry you are too. Just want to take a deep breath, and just let all this anxiety just flow out of me. But I can't seem to calm down. I hope in time it will get better

I am terribly sorry to hear about your losses. I, too suffer from anxiety that (I think) was caused by some tramatic events. I find that yoga has helped me a lot.

Thank You... I also heard meditation is good, but I can't seem to calm down enough to focus, and get "to that peaceful place"

Sorry... wasnt finished with my post. It also helps me to think of all the positive things i have in my life. Its not as easy as it sounds, it is a constant battle for me sometimes. You are not alone. I know it can feel that way. Sending positive vibes your way.

There is a fantastic book called "The Buddha Walks Into a Bar" and it's a guide to meditation for the average joe.

It's a fantastic read and was really helpful to me, until I lent it to my boyfriend who just sort of dumped me a few weeks ago.

He still has it, which makes me kind of grumpy but is also kind of funny, I guess.

I hope he's using it for when he starts to freak out and miss me! ;-)

Thank you Above anxiety... I see a therapist weekly, and go to the gym daily. I do feel like a leaf in the wind.... Just blowing around and not knowing what end is up. I know I have a lot on my plate, and I would expect my anxiety to rise. Sometimes I am so amxious, I can't calm down. I try to get my mind off my thoughts, and keep busy. But I am really struggling right now!!! When I get to work, that was my safe place, Now has become like jail. I just don't want to be here, and I want to leave. Obviously I can't, but my work is suffering because Ican't concentrate

Thank you.... You hit on some good points. I do have to much to deal with, and need to learn to put them away one at a time. I really feel I never grieved properly for both my parents because of my situation with my ex. Thank you for the kind words....
