I feel as if I'm on that rollercoaster I've heard about when grieving.  One day I feel lower than low and the next day I feel ok.  I wouldn't say I ever feel completely high and happy but ok is a great feeling for me.  I long for more "ok" days.  The pain is just so fresh right now since I only lost my daugther 5 weeks ago.  I just wonder sometimes.. will the "ok" days become more and more?  It's like bipolar of grief.  I keep trying to figure out what makes the days "ok" or low...and I can't figure it out.  I don't feel like anything is triggering the low days or that there's any reason for the ok days.  It's just so frustrating!

Thanks so much.  It's so hard for me not to control everything all the time.  I'm such a planner and have planned out my life to a T.  It wasn't until the last time and this time that my plan has been completely thrown off course and now I find myself lost and wondering where to go next.  I feel like it's God's way of telling me to stop planning out my life and start living it... but that just seems so cliche.  I'm very sorry for your loss.. I can't imagine losing the love of my life but I'm sure that he made an impact on so many people's lives and you can see him every day in the people and children you have around you.

it is normal to feel this way. i feel like im fine one day the next day im a basket case. and 5 weeks is so soon for you. i have actually very joyous times. but my faith and church has alot to do with that. but days like today. i cannot think about anything else but jeremy. its been 11 or 12 weeks for me. he was 32. but we have small kids. so sometimes i try to hide my pain for them. but no i don't think its bipolar. its grieving.  and losing a child is extremely hard. ive only had a misscarriage. ive lost a young husband. but from what ive heard losing a child is the hardest. since we always feel we should leave this earth before them. im sorry for your loss. and what makes the days ok. try not to figure it out. just realize the grieving will let up some days. and in time it will let up more. lol tammi

"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
