Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’ve been keeping it together by staying busy and not letting myself fall apart, but the grief I keep shoving down isn’t shrinking
• I keep my head down and stay busy so I never actually feel the loss, and now it ambushes me at random and won’t metabolize
• Everyone keeps telling me to move on and get over the loss, but the grief is huge and it won’t go
• I keep telling myself I shouldn’t be this wrecked when other people have lost so much more
