It never goes away, it just changes and evolves when you least expect it.
After experiencing the death of my first husband, family members and friends, Hurricane Irma and the tree that landed on our house and changed it forever, it has occurred to me that loss is loss. The loss of my house as I knew it has surprisingly compounded my grief and manifests itself in different ways.
The best way I cope with it is to roll with the changing feelings and take it one day at a time, realizing that it will come back to bite me at any time. I try to be ready for it, but not always successful. Depression hits me in various degrees, but like the grief, it never completely goes away. It all haunts me.
Today I read an article from someone who experiences grief that pops up in different ways. It is a comfort to know you are not alone and gives great insight to discover how others cope on a daily basis. I can't wait to check out the website she suggested for further insight.
