A Little Bit About Secondary Loss:

Secondary loss zaps your concentration, your energy, and your motivation to want to do
anything at all. Secondary loss includes the dreams you previously had for yourself or your loved one. Your entire life’s perspective may change. It may all go poof into thin air and you may not know who you are anymore.

Fear, anxiety and terror may suddenly creep into your day or explode full on into your
life minute by minute upon awakening. So that you feel alone on an island or on a boat adrift out to sea.

You can’t push someone into better or to move through grief into some other mythical happy side of it because there’s no other side to get to, it’s a part of life. Validation is huge.

Tears of grief are often mixed with tears of love.
