Is no motivations part of grief?

Have you felt like it’s hard to do things since your loved one died?
I remember when one of my college best friends passed away unexpectedly back in February 2014 and we were all deceased. It was difficult to move on and I would stuff myself with junk food, cry and watch YouTube videos after my college class. Then for a while I realized what I was doing and gained all the weight back I’ve lost (from 189lbs to 220 I think. Some people say I didn’t need to lose weight and don’t agree with my weight loss since I’m a “tall girl (5’9 ish)” but that’s not important right now.
My mom passed on Monday and I find myself unmotivated but I keep working out anyways. That’s what my mom would have wanted and for me to keep going. I don’t wanna make the same mistake by gaining weight and I don’t wanna do the opposite by not eating and becoming anorexic which won’t happen.

Yeah that's normal unfortunately. It's one of the most disruptive and depressing things you can experience
@DarlingSelah yeah fucking hurts. I know I need to be motivated, but I don’t wanna make the same mistake by gaining weight and being depressed. Gotta keep moving.
