Feeling Paralyzed by Grief

In 2016, I felt paralyzed by grief. In between it all I found an attorney, helped my daughter through her grief, and talked to others in my grief groups. When 2017 rolled around, I started working again while juggling a million things on my plate. It was a difficult time, but the one thing I learned is that when people are grieving, just being a shoulder to lean on is one of the best things you can do.   Key Takeaways:  [1:31] Feeling panic stricken, being away from home, and trying to balance everything [5:07] Not working, drinking, and feeling paralyzed  [8:58] Gracie processing grief and losing people in my life [12:15] Getting Molly's medical records and picking an attorney  [16:41] Receiving closure with my kids pediatrician  [18:18] Losing Roy and trying to juggle everything in life  [23:21] Working full-time again and keeping busy [26:07] Finding a therapist and going through the motions as summer marched on [28:20] Grief never leaves, but using social media to help  [33:05] Gracie going to school again and not wanting to be alone  [35:15] Getting through the holidays  [38:53] Trauma numbed me while going into 2017 [40:59] Looking back on the difficulties of 2017 and stepping back into my life [43:52] How to help people that are grieving    Resources from this episode: Concord Dance Academy Article on the Molly B Musical Ellie's Way   Connect with Barb: Website Facebook  Instagram YouTube
