I just learned about this term Complicated Grief. I think it may be what is going on with me. I thought I was just in a really deep depression. I'm sure I am depressed, but I know that grief is a huge part of it.
In a two year period my mother died unexpectedly, my son got sent to the middle east, my mother-in-law died, My husband & I made a major move from WA (where I lived for 30 years & where my family is) to Hawaii (where we don't know anyone), and then my dad died a few months after that.
Even though it has been two+ years since my mom passed, I frequently have period of such intense grief it is like the loss was just last week.
For the past several weeks I have been crying every day and I am basically non-functional. I have some health issue that are adding to it, also.
I'm wondering how to approach this. I see a Psychiatrist regularly for my depression but I wonder if we need to go in a different direction in order to help me get over this grief?
