Loss and Grief: How are you doing?

After a loved one, dear friend, or pet dies, it's normal go have Grief Brain (a medical term). Grief Brain is mental forgetfulness and confusion and can last for months. After my daughter died I lost my comb. I searched in normal and odd places. Finally found my comb in the refrigerator!
I just started writing my 10th grief book and am going to discuss Grief Brain. My husband died in November of 2020 and I had Grief Brain for about six months. Thankfully, I could tell when my brain was returning to normal. When it comes to Grief Brain, we need to be gentle with ourselves.

This is so interesting. I believe this is what I must have. I thought it was from some medication I was given for depression. I know I could just feel that there was something not quite right with my brain. This is such a help. I am 87 years old and was afraid I would have to go and live in one of those assisted living places. Right now I am still able to take care of myself and now I know that this too shall pass. Thank you so much.
