Hey everybody. How are you? I am doing okay. This time of year is hard for me. Death anniversary date on Saturday of an ex…I don’t handle loss well. I am finally back in therapy with my previous therapist at a new organization. She discussed my emotions surrounding that person and their death today with me. I appreciate therapy a lot.

Later this month, next Saturday, I will be speaking at my virtual home group. I feel as though I have nothing new to say. I will figure it out though.

Is everyone else doing ok with the holidays? Hugs to all.

Thank you for sharing some of your story, you will say the right things and you will touch someone's heart that needs help. There are always new ears with this disease.

Fmylife. I relate. I feel a little grief over an ex dying. I left the relationship a few years before his passing. And I absolutely grieved so strongly it was gut-wrenching. Early sobriety as well. I restarted my sobriety during that time
But even now, 6 years later, I just feel a little grief still. He died New Years Eve at 28. He was a good guy.

I'm glad you were able to get in and continue seeing your therapist. Loss is definitely a difficult to navigate, especially when we try to do it by ourselves. I hope you're doing okay and that it gets easier.

Likewise. You can do hard things. Grief comes in waves. Be kind to yourself.
