I need help

In November I lost my aunt and my Grandmother. In January my Dad developed pneumonia and spent three months in the hospital to be released home on hospice. Beginning of May my two oldest son’s best friend committed suicide. A boy I helped raise who was at my house all the time. I cooked for him, babysat him, was at all his ball games.

A week later our sweet lab had a tragic accident and I watched my frantic husband use all his medical knowledge to try to save him to no avail. The following week May 25th my Dad passed. My whole world just shattered at that point.

I’m broken. I can’t clean, I can’t cook. It’s been 3 days since I’ve even showered. My once neat tidy home is a train wreck. I can’t even figure out where to begin. I walk around numb. Tears just fall all the time. Too many memories everywhere.

There’s so much going on besides all that like financial difficulties and issues with a family member. Things I could handle normally with ease but right now it’s too much.

I can’t watch the news because all the things happening around the world paralyze me.

How do I get back to normal. How do I do this. My person that always calmed me always had an ear for me always comforted me. My Dad. Is gone now.

My mom is just broken. 61 years with the love of her life and it’s all just gone. I can be strong for her while I’m around her but I leave and just fall apart.

I feel like I can’t do this anymore it’s too hard too painful but giving up isn’t an option so here I am. I’m just here.

When my son committed suicide I was equally numb but then I had a revelation from God. A few days later my daughter had the same vision. Having lost parents and cousins and aunts and uncles and in laws ...... There is hope. PM me if would like to chat.

@SW-User Life goes on. I know where he is and we all have a laugh at the memories we have of him. We visit his grave every year on his birthday and as often as we can through the rest of the year. He is buried in the family cemetery 200 miles from where I live so our visits are not very common.

@SW-User Yeah it can get to be maudlin with too many visits. our visits are always joyous occasions. We have a picnic and then the grand kids go have some fun.

@SW-User We would take booze but none of us drink. Our son didn't drink either. He did like his food though. He was a big man. 6' 6". Harmless as a kitten.
