Let's Talk: Grief

Hello friends. Today I wanna cover a pretty heavy topic. Grief is a tricky thing that is unique to every individual. My Pepaw passed away about a week ago. I bawled my eyes out the first day, but I haven’t really cried that much since. Although I have these waves of unwavering sadness. I just wanna crawl into my bed and sleep forever. 

Grief is different for everyone. Some people laugh, most people cry, and others aka me get bad waves of depression. These waves come at different times during the day. I usually just get into my bed and sleep because that’s really the only thing I can do. The naps are great though. The only downside is that I've been forgetting to eat, and I've lost some of my appetite. This usually happens when I'm under major stress which is about 60% of my life, BUT STILL! I love food. Grief comes in all shapes and sizes. It is also a force to be reckoned with. Grief can consume your life if you allow it to. I’ve seen and heard stories of that happening. It’s a huge burden on a person.

I don't know else to say about this subject. I guess it's still early in the grieving process. I think that's it for now. I'll see you guys later.
