Author Lovezen_30 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 with a very busy day ahead of me and tons to do, but just couldn't leave the bed. I've been working very hard over the past month or so keeping busy but I just felt like I couldn't get up. I then went on to have a mini-breakdown, almost as bad as one I had soon after it happened...I've missed important work today because of this...I don't know what came over me, it's like it was fresh all over again.
mickleb Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 You're finding yourself doing a couple of things you wouldn't normally do. No big deal: this situation is not one you usually find yourself facing. Yes, try to keep to your usual routine and, if you find that busying yourself usually helps, busy yourself but don't feel bad about the occasional missed day at work. With regards to the friend-thing, it happens. Be as honest with him as possible and no harm has been done: I'm sure he will understand. I noticed that Susan Anderson (who has written some of the best books available about abandonment) is writing a book about loss of one's partner through bereavement. There is a document you can download on her website (http://www.abandonment.net/index.html) for free. I recommend it. I'm glad you're still posting, Lovezen, and think the project you're doing for the person you lost is a wonderful idea. I think you sound as though you are doing really well. You should be proud of yourself. x
