Members Nicole-my grief journey Posted May 26, 2018 Members Report Posted May 26, 2018 It’s pouring down rain tonight. Appropriate for what I’m feeling. So much loss. On so many levels. It just keeps happening. It’s unbelievable. I’ve lost two brothers. 7 friends in 1 year to overdoses. And my mother is in critical condition. So much fear and worry about my mother and layered, accumulated grief, complicated grief, anticipatory grief and ptsd all in one. Support system missing and I’m across the country away from my therapist and all of my belongings and my other life that took a couple decades to build. Doing my best to cope. People say I’m strong and feel ai’m just fighting to survive in the only way I know how. Instinctually. Trying everything I’ve learned over the years in therapy and group meetings for grief, cancer support groups, Alanon and life experiences. It’s just that...I’m exhausted and running on empty today. Broken over friends death last night and spending all my waking hours at the hospital praying my mom will survive. Hurting.
