Grief sucks.

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately; I lost someone else I cared very much about and the world refuses to settle back into place. It doesn't help that it's my dreaded October. I'm doing what I can. Every day I get to work and plod through it, even if I keep staring off into space. And at not-work I don't like to be alone much. I'm under orders from the psych to just let myself be sad (and not distract myself from it too much, you see). And to not beat myself up about feeling the wrong things or feeling too much of them. It's great advice. I hate it.
Also I'm supposed to go to sleep on time. Read: 77 min ago. Oops.
How are you all doing?

((hugs)) I still miss my mom and it's been five years since she died. Whatever you're feeling now, please know that it's normal and expected, and if anyone doesn't get why you "aren't over it by now", they can stick their opinions elsewhere. Grief is not a linear thing where you go neatly from point A (horrible ocean of emotion) to point M (mostly okay and not thinking about every moment) without detours, side trips, and flat out backtracking.
