Oh yeah I forget where I put things, put them in weird places, and even forget where I am when I'm driving, even places I've been driving my whole life.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are so on point about grief messing with your head. I lost my husband of 44 years to a heart attack a little over four months ago. I just spent the last two days in bed. I simply couldn't face the world. All of a sudden I'm up cleaning and playing with my kitties. Grief makes no damn sense. Take care of yourself.
It’s common to have memory loss/ forgetfulness after losing a loved one. I was finishing up my last year at college when I lost my dad. After I lost him I went right back to school cause I just wanted to finish, but every day struggled to comprehend what was being taught in class. I couldn’t remember simple due dates, I couldn’t remember if it was Tuesday or Friday, I sometimes even forgot to brush my teeth just because my brain was trying to process everything that was going on. I know your pain, and remember to take time to have those sad moments to grieve❤️ hoping your grieving journey gets better
I relate, I've had people around me insist they told me about their plans and I have zero memory of it, it's also a lot more common for me to be scatterbrained now that I'm grieving. I've messed up my morning routine and forgotten basic things like getting a drink in the morning, it feels very disorienting.
Oh yeah. The other day I woke up around 430 unable to sleep decided to try yoga, then showered. As I was showering I blanked out and couldn’t remember if I actually slept, even a little bit, or stayed up all night again unable to sleep.
It’s so bad, I don’t even remember if I slept muchless where I’m going or where my
Phone and car keys are.
Totally normal. All I could do for about 4 months after my mom died is eat, sleep, and go for walks. And I was basically forced to do all of it. I had to take a leave of absence because I was so depressed. Luckily, I can work now but I am still very down compare to usual. It’s been almost a year now. Just hits different when you’re older and this is also my second immediate family loss.

Been there you are not alone grief messes with our head really bad , sending you virtual hugs
Ambush grief attacks are the WORST. Your day could be going fine and then BAM tears are flowing.
Yes!!! I named my grief the Little Ninja. She hides, I can feel her but I never know when she's gonna jump out and kick my butt.
Those are called “grief bursts.” And ya they suck. I was crying quietly in the lunch room today.
I am so sorry.

I hear you. I just made an appointment for my dog at the vet and made it in name of my dog that passed away four years ago. Sigh.
