I have found myself not wanting to go home after work during the week since my sons death and my entire family leaving the house for one reason or another. The problem is that when I do get home, all I want to do is lay in bed and watch TV. I know that this is not healthy for me but i can not help myself. Is this something normal?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My daughter would usually jump on me and hug me as soon as I walked in the door and I knew this would never happen again and I had a hard time dealing with it.
I finally forced myself to go home and walked through the doors with tears running down my face...
I hated that feeling of being home and feeling like something is missing and like clouds hanging over our house and our lives.
As I have prayed and have talked to others the clouds have lifted, not entirely but for the most part. Things are better and it will just take some time and effort dealing and processing your grief. It will take a while. Many times you have to force yourself out of bed or couch and try to do something you used to find fun. I am very sorry for your loss and I will say a prayer for you and your family today...
Prayers,

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. I HAD TO RELOCATE AND PURCHASE ANOTHER HOME. YOU JUST FEEL SO ALONE. I HAVE MY SON AT HOME, BUT HE IS 18 AND HAS HIS OWN LIFE. I SOMETIMES DO THE SAME THING, IT JUST SEEMS EASIER TO STAY IN ONCE YOU ARE THERE. I HAVE TO JUST MAKE MYSELF GO PLACES THESE DAYS. I AM THINKING OF YOU AND PRAYING FOR YOU. GOD WILL NOT FORGET YOU OR FORSAKE YOU!!!!
We all stumble though it .... never in the same time or in the same way. The only thing we all have in common is the pain, and for that this site is invaluable. What works for me may not work for you, but to know you are ot alone and there are people here who understand is a real sanity saver.
Take each day as it comes, don't push yourself to do things that are not comfortable to do right now. Don't expect that in 6 months or a year you will be "over it" .... give yourself time to hurt and time to heal
I still have that to look forward to. I haven't worked while caring for Mom and once I get a job again, there won't be anyone to call home to during the day. No one. And Mom won't be calling me to ask what to make for dinner. And she won't be calling when weather predictions are bad - to scold me about not hurrying home early.
So, you see, I have alot of grief - still ahead. Let it work itself out in time.
