Is it normal to just want to sleep all the time?

13. Of course it's normal to feel exhausted

Grieving is hard work physically, as well as emotionally & psychologically.

There is no timeline for resolving grief & the stages of grief are not linear.

Please be kind to yourself & gentle with yourself.

Please consider contacting a hospice for bereavement therapy. They receive special training to help those whose hearts are aching from grief & will provide 13 months of bereavement therapy free to support you through the "year of firsts," holidays, birthdays, etc.

Hospice might also offer groups, perhaps for people whose siblings have passed on, perhaps even virtually.

I'm so sorry for your loss & the mess in your yard.

DUers who have tried it say they felt better after even the 1st video, which is available immediately after a very brief registration.

Maybe beginning to plan your new garden might be an uplifting activity that isn't strenuous.

I hope you feel better soon.
