[quote=Anonymous]My dad died in July and my mom will likely die in September. Not Covid and not broken heart syndrome either since they were long divorced and we did not tell mom about dad. Both deaths are part of long slow declines and the ends are logical and to be expected. These were not vibrant outgoing people who were suddenly robbed of their existence by cancer-- that kind of story that's when I imagine shedding buckets of tears. I have such a feeling of general disorientation and sadness. And on top of that sadness there's Covid sadness and the nightmare of Zoom school with a child with special needs. I'm not a person who generally gets mired in her feelings or is prone to sadness and depression but all there is to do now is home improvement projects and thinking deep thoughts. I don't know how to lift the cloud. If Covid were gone I would go about my life and their sad ends would recede but all this home time means it's hard to think about anything else. [/quote]
