Fesshole š§»I'm a therapist who has seen hundreds of grieving clients. I rejected the adage "everyone grieves in their own way" because most types of mourning fit into only a dozen different categories. Then my mother died from Alzheimer's and my grief was unique to all of humanity.
Daniel Durrans@fesshole I am sorry for your loss. I lost my mother from a similar degenerative disease a few years ago. It changed me.
Steve BWell that got dark really fucking quickly.
Patrick McLaughlinYeah. It depends on which end of the telescope oneās at.
You werenāt wrong before. Nor when your mother died.
š Paul š¦@fesshole Thereās a difference between the categories and parts of a process, and the process itself: your old self obviously didnāt recognize the difference. Even someone whoās experienced loss before can react differently when they experience another loss, speaking from personal experience here.
vandenberglegs@fesshole My dad is a couple of years into Alzheimer's and it fucking sucks.
Amandine@fesshole I'm sorry for your loss.
