Kaliope, thank you for the understanding and letting me know your going through some similar things too. At times I feel alone and think my some just don't understand, even my hubby. Its has been hard explaining it. My brother try to understand, I told him I'm not grieving over my son, however it is like my brain cannot cope with stress and I get very anxious and depressed. I am usually very hopeful person and positive and still am, however my brain does what it wants when it wants. Unfair I have in the past done trauma therapy, EMDR, and It works well on me, not sure yet if my knew therapist does this. Been having issues with husband on how to raise our Grandsons and how to deal with a high maintenance child is stress on us both. He just recently started going to therapy with me. Hope we have good results.
I hope your going to heal in time too. Nope its not easy. Sending hugs,
Grandma
