I have been on DS since I lost Ella - and up to this point I thought I was doing ok.. but this last week has been unbearably hard for me. I feel depressed - and lonely- I am blessed with a wonderful husband and two amazing children.. yet I feel the most alone I have ever felt in my life. I see a therapist and I told her monday night that I feel lost and in despair.. she feels its normal at this stage.. but for me I feel its like getting worse than I was before. I am not in crisis -and have no suicidal thougths.. I just cant shake the isolation I feel -even through positive self talk. SO my big question to my friends here on DS.. have there been moments/days/weeks in your grief where you have felt what I am feeling? because I just feel like its me only. thanks

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...
In the end, I think the holidays make it that much harder to deal with our grief. We're supposed to be cheerful/thankful at this time and it's incredibly hard to be that when all we want is our children in our arms. Keep talking to that therapist, I am sure that will help. Do what you need to for the next two months to take care of you. Don't feel like doing something, then don't.
Also remember that grief can come in waves. So where you felt like it was getting better, you had gotten through that wave. Now a new one is rolling in. Take it moment by moment if you have to. Hugs.
The grieving process is long and hard. It is filled with going forward, falling down, and picking yourself back up. Like climbing a big mountain. Trust me, I know where you are coming from.
Your therapist is right. It is normal at this stage.
And everyone else is also right. The holidays DO NOT help. As well as your approaching due date. BIG HUGS!
