[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At present, I don't want to do anything. All i want to do is read, walk/run, take long showers, eat pasta, and watch crap TV in bed.[/quote] OP, I'm so sorry for your loss. I think you're doing great for where you are and how long it's been -- you're reading, walking, running, and taking long showers, all of which are activities that people with depression really struggle to do. You're taking care of yourself, which you're entitled to do. Your husband and your kids don't have to join you in your grief -- it's different for them -- but in the same vein they need to respect that you're in a different space than they are. Anticipatory grief is hard, and relief is normal when death is a release from suffering, but none of that shortcuts the grieving process or makes it easier to bounce back to "normal."[/quote] Thank you [/quote]
