Since my daughter’s death back in December, I’ve been having emotions that, frankly, surprise me.
In my younger days I was a hot tempered man, easy to fly into a rage. However, in the last several years, that rage has cooled and I nave become much more agreeable and easier to get along with.
However, since my daughter’s death, my old trigger temper has returned. It doesn’t take much to set me off. I hope this passes, because I really enjoyed the old, new Scott.
My wife and I are going to something called Celebrate Recovery tonight. Even though it is designed for people with substance abuse problems, they say that anyone is welcome. I am hopeful that simply being with people who have gone through this will be helpful in itself.
Have you dealt with the death of a loved one? How did you manage? How long did the grief process take? When did you realize that you were passed it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
