Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- The day they died still plays in my head in jagged pieces
- So much of who I was lived in being their wife, their caregiver, the one they called
- I keep swinging between drowning in the raw grief and trying to make sense of it, and I think I lean too hard on the sense-making because feeling it is unbearable
- My memories of them and of how it happened come at me in scattered, jagged pieces with no order to them, and I keep replaying the end on a loop
- When I try to remember them it all goes vague and formless and the grief just swallows me
