Same here. They forget, we can’t. Sick of acting “normal,” too. If people only knew what was underneath. Sometimes I share a bit w/ someone, but I don’t want to burden others and I think people can distance themselves from it, if it’s too much.

It is awful in the waking moments, putting the radio or TV on as soon as you wake up might help, just a background noise, voices, music any sounds will make you feel less alone. I listen to radio 4 or LBC as sometimes music triggers my grief. Also I try not to lie in bed once I am awake as that makes me worse too.
We do have to have time for grieving and should not try and deny ourselves that but if it is constant then distraction can be helpful.

This describes me, I put radio on as soon as up. I get up as soon as I wake otherwise I lay there thinking of everything.

It’s also true about music, so much of it is upsetting so I prefer talking on the radio.
