This Is Just How You Process Grief - Tumblr Posts
2 years ago
Btw, if you have not had tragedy dropped on you before, grief does fuck you up in unexpected and physical ways. If you can’t sleep or sleep more than expected or have more or reduced appetite, or energy goes weird— your brain just had a bunch of emotions dropped on it and sometimes it reacts by hitting every button in your brain. It will pass. Just try to not get too frustrated with yourself.
It’s also fine if you feel normal. Grief literally hits everybody differently, and some people are made to be able to to keep the farm going the day after a death, and some of us turn into sleepless gargoyles and get really into trying to help, and some of us are just unspeakably sad. Grief is weird. Be kind to yourself.

important
as someone who has processed grief
if you feel normal and not too shaken
dont blame yourself
and just know
that there will be days where the grief will be worse
it will sneak up on you 6 months after the news dropped
it will stay on your mind for 2 years after the news dropped
this is normal
this is okay
you are okay
youre not dramatic for being this way
the first three days you might not feel anything
but you might feel the aftershocks months after
and its not any less valid
this is just how you process grief
and that's okay
theres nothing to be ashamed of here
its okay
we'll be okay
death tw
tw death
death
