My little sister died unexpectedly late August, one month later I suffered from foreign object sensation in my eye. 8 months later I am still dealing with eye issues and found out it's my meibomian glands.

Answer 7

Buried my mom's mom on a Monday, my husband passed away that Wednesday, then my dad's mom passed away that Saturday.. I was 31 then.. 3.6 years later.. finding joy in every day, small things. Making muffins for the neighbors, sitting with my kids and just listening. I like the ball in the box concept... at first the ball fills the box... then as time and healing goes on, the ball gets smaller, but when it does hit the edges, that feeling is still there. Forever. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, special moments and accomplishments with my children... my life perspective is forever changed..and it's very hard to take a lot to seriously anymore because you can plan... but I'm a believer in fate. Put your best foot forward and do not apologize for the things you need as you grieve. So many opinions. But only you know.

This may be a selfish request, but would you consider adding a small note to your document to all of us who love the Huberman Lab and deeply appreciate all the work you’ve done? I don’t think I’m alone in saying that, when the time comes, we will all be grieving your loss.

This is what I think about having a non traditional life and not a partner. So, when you lose your primary attachment figure, grief and death feels especially vulnerable.

I lost my child at 39 weeks. This type is even more difficult as the science shows the child's cells stay with mom and he's forever with me. Every day is different but always a sadness underneath.
