Feeling Numb,,,

QueenZ
QueenZ

My mommy's birthday is quickly approaching, it's only 3 days away now. My feeling of numbness is increasing. I'm tired...physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I just want to be left alone but then again I want someone to just listen and let me cry. I get tired of holding everything in and pretending like i'm okay. I get tired of forcing a smile. I'm tired of being around people. All I want to do is eat and sleep. I just want to get away from everyone. I have plans to visit her grave next weekend and give her flowers and talk to her. I'm ready to release everything that i've been holding in! I just want to cry until I can't cry anymore.

God bless you QueenZ! I do know how you feel, I lost my mother March 3 yrs ago. I miss her so very much. Birthdays and the dates of death are the hardest for all of us. It sounds like you are in a depression and that is completely normal, I think we have all experienced that in some form, but please seek some help to cope or you will just go deeper and deeper into that depression. My prayers are with you and I do pray that you are able to find some sort of peace in your walk.

Gentle hug for you sweetie.... The 'firsts' are difficult.... If you can a real life support group might be a big help for you to grieve... Holding the grief in means it's still all there..... Another hug and a blessing.....xo

My prayers are with you. Have you tried to get grief counseling? you can go online to griefshare. org and put in your zip code and it will list counseling groups near you. I lost my mom 4 weeks ago and im also numb, lost, tired of faking a smile. I just want to ball up in knot and cry. This is so painful and i wish that i could just hug my mom one more time.

Birthdays and anniversaries of my loved ones deaths are the hardest time for me. I'm sorry for the pain you are feeling. Try to remember that grief is a process. I don't think we ever truly "get over a loss" we just learn to live in a new way. We may find a new normal but I think there will always be time that grief grabs a hold of us. That will lessen with time but I don't think it goes away. Go easy on yourself. Listen to your body and take care of yourself. Take it one day at a time, one moment at a time if that's needed.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
