Question, sleeping?

Hi there, disturbed and erratic sleep is extremely normal. It is ten months since my husband Paul died, and I still get up most nights. If you think about it, it is logical. We care for our loved ones before they pass, that means 24/7. We are exhausted mentally and physically from that. Afterwards, we are then in shock, and still mentally and physically exhausted from the caring and loss. Add in the shock, disbelief, intense pain, numbness, Then on top of that, we have to arrange the funeral, contact family and friends, support our children. On and on it goes. Our minds are completely overwhelmed. At times, I think I was slightly unhinged. Hence my posting name, Insanity Kate. I am pleased that you have ordered the book, it has really helped me. I am on my second reading. I read it mostly in the middle of the night, it helps me let the pain out. Kind regards, Kate. 

Hello!

I still get this two years in almost from losing Jay. It's not as intense as it was at the beginning though I now do actually get a couple of hours sleep. I have lots of weird dreams though now about people and places in the past and I can have very vivid dreams about Jay that can feel very real but can be so disappointing at times when I wake up and find out that that was all it was just a dream. I've tried the going to bed early thing but feel that makes me more tired and I tend to wake up really early as well and just want to go back to sleep but can't. Still wonder what I am getting up for in the mornings but I just do my little dog needs me for one reason so that is a reason why I suppose.
