Our deepest condolences to so many in the comments who have experienced profound loss. Many folks have expressed ongoing suffering from grief and asked questions on what can be done to manage it - below are three other videos by Ms. McGahon that may be helpful resources. kzitem.info/news/bejne/q4p9z3yjoHido4I&t kzitem.info/news/bejne/xXuImISEmnmAnXo&t kzitem.info/news/bejne/wqWEtHV5fniimXY&t These are no substitute for individualized counseling or medical assistance, and KZitem has many other great resources. We hope these are just that - helpful resources for those struggling with grief.

When I am gone, release me - let me go I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you love, you can only guess, how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love each have shown, but now it is time I travelled alone. So grieve awhile for me if you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It is only for a while that we must part so bless those memories within your heart. I will not be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come, I will be near and if you listen with your heart, you will hear all of my love around you, soft and clear. Then when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and “welcome home”

Everything she is talking about it exacerbated when there is depression and anxiety present prior to loss. I loss my Mother who I was extremely close to and within a year lost my sibling to suicide. In my experience the grief is harder to process and becomes debilitating.

Ever since I had to watch my mom die of frontal lobe dementia 8 years ago it still feels like last week. I've been on a downhill spiral. Im still living ina travel trailer bhind her house. Stepdad is a cold unloving stepdad😢 I'm quite sure hes a functioning autistic man. Hecan only discuss weather.nothing deep or loving. My mom never realized how different he was for over 50 years of their marriage. He remarried within a year and stepmom hates me. I am declining physically and mentally😢 i need assisted living now. I have no idea how to get help. Im just gonna end up in hospital begging for help. Ive reached bottom! Everyones been so cold to me and I was cut out of everything my mom wanted me to have. But I'm so depressed I can't pull out of this. Im really bummed out.🙏💔

Sarah, only people in our position know what it’s like. I’ve been trying to figure it out, so far, I just keep coming across things he liked, things he said, things he wanted to do. I remember his flaws and faults, I never took him to task on them, waiting for the maturity and right time to come, it never did. Is there some within your purview who needs help? If so, help them, think of it as being for him.

It is difficult to put a time horizon on these symptoms - it can take a long time to process, and it varies from person to person. I would talk to your doctor if you are worried about the duration of symptoms you're experiencing.

This was a very comprehensive summary of the ways in which grief can manifest itself, thank you. I feel a bit reluctant to use the word symptom though since for me that word is so strongly associated with illness and grief is a natural process we undergo after a loss as you point out. I would prefer using sign/manifestation etc. Only my personal opinion.
