coping with grief during covid

It’s not sad at all. You are trying ,and it’s not easy.

Hi there,

so glad you posted this as I am exactly the same. Still sat in bed crying as usually my weekend would be surrounded by children and grandchildren. Week 1 I was structured. Exercise, spring cleaning a room a day and then afternoon in the sun gardening and I amazed myself at what I got done. Today I have 0 plan hence sat here crying as Bob and I would sit and chat over a coffee.

i know I will get a grip soon and decide what I’m going to do today but even all the cleaning and gardening feels worthless as no one is going to see it but stops me going mad I suppose. Life for me at the moment is desperately sad and lonely and how I will get through another 2 weeks is anyone’s guess. Really struggling today life is shit!

sorry for the rant don’t want to bring anyone’s mood down.

I koow were very sad and  lonely but I do think of others in worst situations. It helps a bit

Thanks all for replying to everyone. Karen I'm truly sorry for your loss., Hanging on, I too saw the lady with the 2 handicapped children and felt humbled. We try and be thankful for small mercies and whatever glimpse of happiness or normality we have. I love the dawn chorus, the fresh growth of spring. It sometimes makes my heart lift xxx
