(((((((((((((((Cass)))))))))))))))))
I am so very sorry that you've lost your wonderful, dear husband Cass. What a tragic thing to happen to you.
I would find having the tax situation to deal with during this time quite overwhelming. Sometimes intense emotions sort of immobilize me.
I'm including a quote from your post:
"The thing is, I know I have a lot to be grateful for in terms of the support I have, so I feel a little guilty for feeling so down. but I feel the way I feel, and I can't help it. "
Cass, I've learned at my Group Therapy that it's extremely important to FEEL our feelings. To actually FEEL them.
Another thing I've learned is that we can have more than one feeling at the very same time. So you can be feeling grateful, AND sad, AND angry etc at the same time.
I'm glad you have lots of good support. Please try not to feel guilty about feeling really down. It makes total sense that you'd feel that way right now Cass.
The fact that you feel so very angry right now - although it might be really unpleasant, it's probably so emotionally healthy for you.
I'm glad you've found the day program to be involved in. It sounds like a good idea. Good to have help in dealing with your grief, right now while it's right near the surface.
Please let us know how you're doing.
love, Kath
