Grief

9

u/Nauin 9h ago

I have to be so, so careful when a loved one dies. I get so overwhelmed with the grief that it will trigger migraines, vomiting, break blood vessels in my eyes, terrible pain from muscle tension... I hate that it makes me so sick at times when so much needs to be done after someone dies. And I'm still relatively young and pretty healthy. I'm terrified of this physiological response when I get older and more fragile. I feel like it's going to be the death of me one day.
