U r the 1st person I have come across speaking from experience. I couldn't find the word to describe what I felt in my 3rd year of living grief. Different. That's it. Grief has been a path of silence n solitude. So I thought I would reach out n share. Much Gratitude 🎉🎉

Less terrifying. Exactly. I was a full time caregiver to our 14 year old GSD who passed away on Monday. For almost a year I was experiencing anxiety and anticipatory grief about the reality of life without him. In the weeks leading up to his passing, I grew more anxious and terrified. All I could do was keep saying "I'm so scared". Today I woke up less terrified than usual and the panic is subsiding. I've now started bargaining, many "what ifs", but also feel some depression settling in but I'm no longer freaking out. I truly hope the panic phase is over.

Please remember that there are no "stages" to grief -- I have a couple of videos here about the myth of stages. Sending you comfort for your loss.

@@EmbracingYourGrief Thank you. I find that the 5 stages of grief Help me to process quite a bit because those are the 5 main symptoms that show up for me. I understand however that the stages are not linear in nature and one can feel all 5 of these emotional states in the span of one day even.
