To ask about grief and AIBU

[ShortbreadCookie]

I have recently suffered what is, to me, (and im sure anyone) a world shatteringly, hideous, all encompassing bereavement. By recently I mean in the last month.

I used to love AIBU, I used to love a bunfight, I used to love watching a good flaming etc

I posted and participated, as a serial name changer

Right now, I can't get any joy from any of this. I know it's been early days and it seems like the oddest concern in the light of this awful situation, particularly as I can barely breathe and function anyway.

I guess what I am asking is this: are there people on here who have suffered this kind of loss, the kind that makes you initially wonder if you will ever be whole again, and can, eventually, still find some joy in something small like a MIL rant or penis beaker?

When will the little things make me smile again? I just want to know that I can find joy in the frivolous things again. I need some hope.

you can't put a timetable on it, but the sun will come out eventually. Be kind to yourself.

Mine took a year before I even let myself think I could behave normally. And another before I did. And I don't think my loss was as close as you seem to be describing.

I feel for you. If you want advice I would say to remember to function, to breathe and move and eat now and again. The rest will come, but don't force it.
