Keepin' it real in the land of 10,000 lakes...and a few weirdos.

The five days during my vigil with Mom I was taking anti-anxiety meds. Maybe that is why I was so calm? I'm starting to feel a little less calm this afternoon.
It may not be such a bad idea to continue the medication to get you through these tough days ahead of you. Many of us have used medication and there is no shame in it. I think whatever you need at this time to help you through, you should do it to help make this grief a less bumpier road. It's hard enough as it is.
There's no shame in taking medications, Robyn. Sometimes a little extra help is what we need. I understand feeling numb. Believe it or not, there are still days for me that are much the same. It isn't as frequent now, but it still happens from time to time.
Try and relax a little. Take some time for you. Cuddle up with the kitties. Knit. Watch TV or just sleep. This is the time for you to heal.

Thanks Chris. I still feel so numb like it hasn't sunk in yet.
