I really think that the phrase "new normal " is helpful. The word normal is in itself problematic for me personally and always has been. But in regard to loss and grief, there is and never will be anything like your "previous normal ". Blessings to everyone here who wakes up with the new normal feeling of "this could not have happened. "

Interesting perspective I had not thought of before, @georgette12 When my wife passed away after her war with brain cancer I quit using the word 'normal', because of two things. First, my life was now without the person who had been the most important part of it and second, any concept of normal left our lives the day she got her diagnosis.

I simply use 'life is different'.
Strength, courage, and peace
