[Marie]

I went a little insane until after the funeral. The next morning I woke up perfectly numb.

It’s been a week of sitting still in a ball. Can’t concentrate on much.

At first, this was better. Now I’m getting a little frustrated. I have no idea how long it’ll be before I ‘snap out of it’.

This is a nightmare.

Continued prayers for you. May God Himself comfort you. Your son wants you to be happy for he is. It will take time. Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Love and tears, Kathleen

Just saw this ... Marie, I'm so sorry.

I have no idea how long it’ll be before I ‘snap out of it’.

No one can tell you how to grieve, or put a time limit on your pain. There's no blueprint. It may take a very long time. Just know you WILL get through it. God is always with you, and He knows the words you can't say. "for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." ~ Jesus (Matthew 6:8)

(((Marie))) Prayers for you and for your family, in His Holy Name.

You just said you don't know how long before you snap out of it. For several weeks the scene where I learned of his death from the officers who came here played over and over in front of my eyes. PTSD I guess. That gradually went away and was replaced with severe grief and sadness.

It took me a year to know for sure that I was coming through it. During this year I functioned normally and people were kind of amazed that I appeared so strong. I don't know how I did it except prayer for strength.

Be kind to yourself, cry when you need to and ask God for his help. God Bless you dear freeper friend.

I have no idea how long it’ll be before I ‘snap out of it’.

The only advice I can offer is to take it a day at a time.

My family will be praying for you, and your tragic loss is reminding me to (continue to) love my children unconditionally. My youngest son is 14 and we're going through a trying period with him.

May peace be with you.
