Perhaps a video on CPTSD and grief, grieving...?

[@Liz-v7c]

I'm curious. Trying to support a friend thru their grief. They pulled me very close as death was approaching. Told me a lot of stuff about how complicated the relationship with this person was. After death, they still talked to me about everything going on. In some instances, I knew more than some of their best friends. We had one more intense conversation where they said they weren't sad but ended up being extremely vulnerable to the point of nearly crying. (For context, he's male, and I'm female.) Ever since they reply slowly and sometimes not at all, or sometimes the conversations seem so jolly that it feels overdone. I recently said I was stepping back to give space, but I was there if he needed me. Anyhow, I gave it time, but recently, I just decided to say a gentle greeting without asking questions. I feel the cold distance. This last time, he barely responded with minimal effort. I am at my wits end at what to do. I truly value our friendship. I watched your videos and found some things very helpful. I know not to expect a response. But I don't know what to do moving forward. I almost feel like the friendship is ending. Can you talk about why people withdraw and even push away. I want to be a support.

Thank you for the quiz. I had been pondering something like this myself. I seem to be more of an intuitive griever and have trouble verbalising my feelings very quickly. It is very difficult to answer when everyone keeps asking “how am I” and offer to speak with me, if I need a shoulder to lean. Could you do a video about this kind of situation and how to ask for right kind of support for different types od grievers?

Since I lost my partner November last year, I stopped everything, feel guilty to be happy or have any enjoyment. I stopped celebrating all occasions, means nothing to me anymore. For me life was what I lived with him, all the happiness, laughter, celebration, joy and future plans made sense, not anymore. Only thing makes me happy now when everyday pass, brings me close to my end and him.

I understand and share your feelings.

[@AmirKhan-b5q2c]

@@meskalokys I appreciate your kindness, I do find peace listening to you, but I lost hope now, I’ve done so much in my life and achieved to build his dream, now he is not here, my heart bleeds everyday silently and no one even know that, my tears stop coming out but my soul is drawing. Thank you for your kind words. Can you please send me the quiz.

[@andrea4505]

I feel the same. It's been six months for me, I dread Christmas and NY.

[@MarionChamberlain-d1p]

Wonderful advise

[@erilindigmaya2707]

Thank you for the great quiz. So helpful! I'm a B: Solitary Coping Style So true, have to balance introspection with social interaction. I give myself "homework", to systematically get out and see people. I would very easily become a hermit

Jo, eight months ago I began my grief journey. I followed your grief teachings. It was up and down. I don't know why but I feel I'm backsliding. I wake up with grief, the feelings are so painful again. Memory of the final days are so clear. I find I need sleeping pills and one drink before bed. Is this normal?

Since the death of my late Husband Robert, I can not stand my birthday. Everything is so bland It seems everything has fizzled out, and since my partial hip replacement surgery things are even far worse.
