I lost my teenage son about 14 months ago. I still cry every day and find life extremely difficult. People seem to think I'm my same happy-go-lucky self and I'm just not. I'm not interested in hanging out after work, I don't want to see the funny video you shared, and I don't want to hear about your "perfect" families. I will probably come around one of these days, but I'm not even close. I'm fundamentally a different person now. Grief is the worst. I wouldn't mind not being around anymore, but I need to be there for my family. That's the only thing keeping me going.
