Rollercoaster

Coping with bereavement
1

Do you ever find that among the many people who say unhelpful things, every now and again there comes along someone who says something that really lets you know they get it?

I was talking to a lady the other day who said grief is a rollercoaster and all you can do is hold on.

I felt she hit the nail on the head and it seems so obvious but in my mind I spend a lot of time making a mess of my grief, overthinking, trying to control things and when I think my only job is to hold on as tightly as I can, it simplifies things for me.

I hope this helps someone else too x

Giving this a little bump, @stardust2023, as I think it would be helpful for others to read. Thanks for sharing :blue_heart:

Hi @stardust2023 . I can relate to that. I can’t think about what I could have or should have done differently to prevent my son’s death… it’s just torturing myself. I’m trying not to think too much about the future and what it will be like without him in it. Just as you say ’ holding on ’ and getting through each day :pray:t3:. X
