AnnJ Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Last week I got very drunk,I know that’s not a good idea, but it is what it is. I ‘wrote a letter’ the subject of my disenfranchised grief, Tom. It’s helped me so much. It’s almost like drunk, I could articulate what I couldn’t sober. I sobbed when I wrote it. But I’ve re read it many times over the last 7 days and it’s helped me so much. Maybe this might help someone else too x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorclam Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I have seen this advice on several mourning sites. I am glad it worked for you, though for myself, I have not found it very satisfying. One thing I have done it to create and write down imaginary dialogues with people close to him, who I have considered contacting. I followed through in one case, and I think that the prep helped.

razorclam Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Ummm....the advice I was referring to was not drinking, it was writing letters to the deceased. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayc Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I guess they got intermingled, sorry! I have a letter file I write to my deceased husband. I would not bother writing to someone who dumped me. But that's just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
