Tomorrow it will have been a week since my last appt with T.
And I feel like I haven't had the time to grieve.

This past week has been a busy time. Where I live was effected by hurricane Irene so the beginning of last week was spent helping people out without power with showers etc... (we were one of the luck few who didn't lose power for days).

My MIL is visiting from out of town and will be getting on a plane this coming Sunday to head home and my 6yr old started school today. I've been trying to get some one on one time with my husband but it hasn't been working out. He's been tired and has been going to bed early (his mother can be exhausting ).

Before when I was feeling bad I would find the comfort in knowing I have T to go to. But now I feel like I'm grasping at straws. Emotionally it feels like I'm gasping for air. I have been using food to cope and even though I'm surrounded by people I feel alone.

I'll survive as I always have but this is so hard.

I know how hard it must be for you ... I hope things get easier for you as time moves on... Hang in there!

I'm sorry it's hard for you. Grieving will happen even if you don't have time. It just will. You have us here to share with any time, even if it's just to say how you miss your T.

When your MIL leaves you'll have more time with your H, I hope. Maybe it's good that you could help others after the hurricane. It makes you think less about your own problems, doesn't it?

I feel badly that you're struggling, and I can relate to feeling all alone - even when surrounded by loved ones.

I know you know this and I know you had a transforming last session with your T, BUT it is really okay to decide that you're not quite done, or you just need the support for the next few weeks. It doesn't really have to be this hard and you deserve for yourself anything that helps you cope. Not trying to be judgmental as this next comment will sound, but doing a session or two might be a lot healthier than using food and feeling alone.

Ugh, the perfect storm here ^ when you don't need it! A hurricane, a draining MIL, son starting school, grieving - Ouch!

This will all pass and then you can work on your relationship with your hubby and grieve.
