I'm writing here for some comfort really - and to know I'm not crazy.
My mum (and best friend - parents divorced) died 14 years ago yesterday from a blood clot to her heart. She was the love of my life to be honest, though I have a partner now and he's lovely but mum just 'got me' and supported me, always. It was absolutely devastating. But why, 14 years later, have I had to go to bed for the day, crying uncontrollably? It feels like those first waves of grief. It's like I'm not in control of myself at all, and I feel such intense sadness. I'm now 45, so have wondered if this time of life (as it feels v mid-life) is also making the grief return. Her death anniversary usually isn't so bad.
Anyway, I haven't been able to work or leave the house. I just keep crying and I feel EXHAUSTED.
Anyone else get this, or I am just weird and damaged?
