So dealing with grief

Nobody said anger would be part of the grief process.
I’m so angry

And I don’t have energy to explain but I’m so angry

I lost my husband to a sudden and unexpected brain hemorrhage just over two years ago. Anger is something I have definitely felt as well as absolutely crushing sadness. Guilt has also been massive for me and a whole lot of other feelings, half of which I can't even put name to. I have come to the conclusion that there is no "normal" and we can have times when we feel we are doing well and then the next day, feel like we are set right back to the beginning again. I'm sorry you're part of this awful club too. If you want someone to chat to, don't be struggling on your own. You can message me Xx

@PatientlyWaiting25 My neighbor was a pilot with 45 years of experience. He crashed his airplane and was killed. He was a dear friend. At first I was pissed. How could a guy with his experience crash his airplane ? Then the sadness set in. I miss him.

@Royricky09 been calm for everyone all my lifs.
I will get past it. But right now I can’t once again ignore my feelings.
Sorry love I know you mean well.
Just not today. I feel like I can’t today. But thank you
@Intissima I know the feeling too well to understand how you are feeling right now.
Don't worry if you can't. Don't force it... It'll pass.
I understand dealing with grief is extremely hard, it took me a very long time to get over the anger of my oldest son passing away

Anger is definitely part of it. Feel it and take care of yourself. It does pass.

There are many stages -you can even Google it and come up with a chart of what those stages are.
I don't think any of us fit perfectly in any of those stages and they may come in a different order.

My anger stage came a full year later until then I was kind of numb and in a kind of in a fog

Be as gentle with yourself as you can you're going through something very hard.

Get the anger out, not that you're going to be able to expell it all, but your mind and heart, etc need to "let off the pressure" it will sap your energy so fast carrying it all around.

Oh, it's a big part. Many people bounce around the different stages. But it's your own process and no one can say what's right or wrong.
