Need to get out of this funk
The title says it all. I need to get out of this funk I've been in. Its been a week since I found out...when does it start getting easier? Everything has been suffering. I'm a stay at home mom. My relationship with my fiancee has been suffering. My housework has been suffering. This house looks a mess right now. My fiancee wants to spend time with me and I've just been sleeping nonstop. He understands so he doesnt press the issue, but I don't want my life to suffer because of this. I want to get out of the bed and just be myself again. Be ok. But I dont feel like thats going to happen ever again.

Oh Becky, one week is just the beginning of your grief journey, Im sorry to say. You are probably still numb and the sleeping all the time is part of the numbness. If you can, you should contact a local grief support group and pick up some of their books on the grief process. It will help you to understand everyone goes through the same things so you will be able to accept what is happening to yourself easier. Your doctors office can probably give you the numbers to call. Im not suggesting you go to meetings, just ask for their literature to read as you are able.
