RE: Climbing Out Of A Hole || Am Alive Chaalenge - Week 5

If I may, You sound like you're struggling with the grief from the loss of your son and life in general a bit and if you are, I would totally understand why.

And please feel free to tell me to mind my own business if you want, but I'd like to offer you my help any time if you need it.

This is an extract of what I wrote on my post last night to say that I completely understand and may even be able to help you a bit, just by dong a couple of mental exercises that drew me out of the blackhole that I had spiralled into...When NOTHING else would....

Talking about Depression...Last time it was after my beautiful mum died a couple of years ago and as I was her fulltime carer for the 9 months as she battled #bowelcancer, I literally spent 24 hours a day with her feeding her, showering her, dressing her wounds, changing her stoma bag (his name was Stewart to by the way...), giving her her insulin medications, talking to doctors nurses- the whole kit and caboodle and I went through several months of depression because I had so much built up anger, grief, regret, guilt, shame and other emotions boiling, toiling and churning away inside of me and I thought that I was fine, I told myself that I was ok, I was so happy and excited- on the outside, TRYING desperately to be happy on the inside... But I wasn't, my work was suffering, then I lost that job and couldn't get another one.

Oh and then I had a heart attack- 3 actually in a 2 week period...DUH- everything was really going down hill and no matter how hard I tried to get my life back on track- it didn't matter how many self help/personal growth seminars, events, training courses and online education I did, nothing worked and I needed help.

Help came through a series of serendipitous events and now I am back to my normal self, but if it hadn't of been for the random stranger that I met (at a book writing and publishing training seminar, who introduced me to the person that I needed #LorettaHoneychurch @ https://www.lorettahoneychurch.com/...), I would not have gotten that help that I needed.

So if, you're interested, I can tell you exactly what she told me to do and I can not tell you just how much my life turned around for the better within a week, I mean it doesn't get rid of the grief, nothing will ever do that, it just helped me cope with it much better in a much more realistic way.

But again, pls feel free to let me know if I'm overstepping.....I just want to help that's all..😊
