Loss: I am stuck in the "angry" stage. How can I move on?

What I have experienced with grief is that the anger protected me from the profound sadness until I could start to take it on. In the meantime I channelled my anger into helping others as at least that energy was going somewhere good. Eventually I was able to start to be with it more and it has finally gotten manageable. It also took me a very long time to acknowledge my feelings of guilt, what did I miss and could this all have had a different outcome. All of this is complicated and hard and sad and a process that none of us would have chosen... Sending strength and compassion today. Take gentle care.

Yikes you expressed exactly what I am feeling. It is hard to manage because I am dealing with a daily persistent headache for 3 years/9 mos, all day, every day. Trying to find a cure but in the meantime, I put me first. If I ever feel better, I think, then it will hit me about my brother. Thank you for taking the time to express yourself. It helped me. God bless you!
