Members Tiffany 422187 Posted November 16, 2020 Members Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hi, My grandfather just passed. To me it feels like the passing of a parent because he always filled that role in my life. I'm not able to be at the service today and don't feel like I have support where I am. When I am caring for my children or at work I "box up" all of these feelings of grief, but when and how do I take the time to un-box them? At the moment I'm only sleeping a couple hours each night. How do people process loss while maintaining day to day responsibilities? Thank you, Tiffany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Monty Posted November 17, 2020 Members Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi Tiffany, I too have children too and it is really hard to find the time to just sit with your grief and process it. I have time to think, cry and reflect when driving to and from work and at night when the children are asleep. I often cry through the night when they are asleep. This is so heartbreaking.

Members Tiffany 422187 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Members Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi Monty, Thank you for sharing your experience. Knowing that others are having similar struggles make it feel a bit less lonely. I'll try to find a time that I can allow myself grieving time. Hope you have a good week, Tiffany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
