So it’s been just over 6 weeks since my daughter died and I have to admit that I had no idea her passing would affect me so much.

While I have had a few episodes of tears, the thing that surprises me the most is my total loss of interest in anything and everything.

I was involved in my community as an HOA board member-don’t care. I was politically involved in a political, but nonpartisan organization-not any more. I attend a large church in my community with lots of ministries-I’m not interested in any of them.

How long does this last?

I’ve been melancholy for a couple of weeks now. If you’ve never experienced it, it’s not fun.

I’ve thought about counseling, but how do I pick one? A Google search?
