I&#8217;ll take it as it comes and if I&#8217;m tired will either havea sleep or finish early. There&#8217;s still so much to get sorted with my dads stuff. So much. I&#8217;m a bit anxious this morning too. I&#8217;m not sure why but it&#8217;s not unusual. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Last night my wife and children went out to have chips on the beach but I stayed here. I was so torn over it. I needed the head space and the total peace and quiet but I felt like I was letting my children and wife down by not joining in too. I thought that I should be doing the family thing and go but I couldn&#8217;t face it so I stayed at home and had a hot bath. I nearly fell asleep in there too! I was in bed before they got home. \u00a0I&#8217;m just so tired all of the time. I also realised how stressed and tense I am all of the time too at the minute. \u00a0I sat in bed watching something or reading and it dawned on me that most of my body was tense. So I tried to allow myself to relax fully. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> \u00a0I didn&#8217;t sleep too badly last night. It&#8217;s possibly one of the first nights I&#8217;ve slept ok since the week before dad died. \u00a0I&#8217;m still not registering that he&#8217;s dead. That&#8217;s he&#8217;s gone. That he&#8217;s not there anymore. I know that a lot of the time at the minute I&#8217;m pretty delusional and my thoughts and thinking are all over the place. I can&#8217;t control it though. I also fear that if I did try to control it I might break even more because of being forceful. I don&#8217;t think I know how to handle any of this so I&#8217;m just trying to ride it out. It&#8217;s all I can do. \u00a0I&#8217;m not even sure I&#8217;m doing that. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> \u00a0 It&#8217;s hard for me to Work out what is the grief and what is my mind and it&#8217;s workings. I can&#8217;t tell the difference. I fear breaking too. All of my lines are fuzzy and I can&#8217;t explain anything to anyone. It&#8217;s almost like I feel like an empty shell. I can feel like that without grief though. I&#8217;ve just realised I&#8217;m tense this morning writing this. \u00a0I&#8217;m never sure if putting all this down helps or hinders me. Do I dwell upon it or is it a release? I really don&#8217;t know. I used to think I was starting to get a good grasp on things. I&#8217;m not so sure now. I&#8217;m not sure I know anything anymore.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will be going in to work today and am not sure how much I will get done either.
