What do you do when a crying jag gets you
I think I am coping and then wham out of nowhere it happens. I am just not sleeping, felt so tired, went for a nap and woke up crying my eyes out. I lost my husband in November and I seem to be completely lost.

Hi @Cruiser
I’m so sorry for the loss of your husband, I’ve been crying a lot today, I lost mam in January
Apparently crying is very normal and very necessary when grieving.
When I first lost my mam I read a book, Overcoming Grief by Sue Morris. I couldn’t really take it in as my grief was too raw. I’m now re reading it as my concentration is a bit better.
I’d recommend the book but don’t expect miracles, grief can’t be hurried and there’s no timeline
Wishing you all the best 
Thank you for your reply. So many people have told me that crying will help but it does exhaust you. I will look for the book you recommended. Thank you and you take heart with your kindness.
