Hello. I am truly sorry for your loss and know so very well how debilitating this thing called grief can be as I was thrown into it 1month ago when my Dad passed away. We had only 2 weeks from when we learned of his diagnosis to when he took his last breath, and those 2weeks were the beginning of an ugly nightmare that I can’t seem to escape.

My Dad is and always will be my superhero, he was my anchor and compass, and now I feel like I’m just drifting out to sea with no clue as to what I’m doing or where I’m going…and to be honest, there are times I just don’t care. I wish I did, and am trying to figure how to crawl out of this dark place but all I really want to do is stay home (I live alone), cuddle with my dog, and cry. I’ve been taking 300mg of Wellbutrin for a couple of years now (started during pandemic) but I now wonder if it’s even making an impact.

Anyhow, after searching for a support group I was drawn to this discussion, and just wanted to say I understand 💯 where you’re coming from and want you to know you’re not alone. I’m a social worker and I give advice all day, so you’d think I would know what to do & say, but honestly, this time I’m stumped. But even if I did, I’d ignore my own advice b/c when it comes to taking care of ourselves, social workers are the worst. So this is my 1st attempt to reach out and seek answers/suggestions, and dare I say, look for help. ☺️
