No one speaks about the distress you feel when a loved one dies.
Perhaps you have been actually living in a distressed space without having a word for that emotion.
Distress is consuming and tiring.
I would wake up at all hours and have this awful feeling. I felt like it was overwhelming the day or night. Eventually, the episodes of being very distressed lessened but then it would come out of nowhere and upset me.
It does pass but you generally have to ride the storm.
Remember grief has many layers so be kind to yourself. Nurture yourself and use whatever works to soothe your soul.
