I'm sorry for your losses. Death can be a trigger and hard to deal with at times. The younger you are usually the harder it is. But there is always hope. Find someone to talk to about the flashes and you can always keep a journal. I don't know if you are in therapy or not, there are alot of grief counselors out there. I wish you well.

I agree with Chily, if you talk about it or write it down it will often help. Peace can be found, I'm told, when with this particular kind of trauma you find acceptance. I've tried to explain that I understand he's gone and letting go isn't the problem, it's going on that I haven't got a handle on. And the manner in which he died is too horrifying to except for me. No matter how hard I try.

I wish you the ability to find the peace you deserve. I'm here to listen if you need someone to just listen.

I am sorry for you losses and the pain that you are feeling.I think everyone's reactions to flashbacks are a little different. So is the way of treating them. I close my eyes and breathe and say something reassuring to myself. It helps with the immediate sense of being flipped upside down. Best of luck to you and many blessings. I wish you peace. xoxo

    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...
