Grief

Just comes out of nowhere and slams into you sometimes. Sneaky little son of a.....gun.

I was folding laundry a few minutes ago. Mundane, routine, mind numbingly boring stuff. And out of nowhere I started to cry, grieving for my dad, who passed away last year. I have no idea why. But out of the blue, I’m missing him big time tonight. Maybe it’s because he didn’t like folding his laundry either, LOL.

And in the middle of it all, I’m getting a migraine and have the visual auras which is my migraine pre-cursor. I’m a mess.

But it will all pass.

Just my random musing for tonight.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Aw. @gidgetgh, it certainly will pass. Stuff can just hit you out of the blue for sure, but I wonder whether there was any connection between the grief that took hold of you and that migraine that did as well.

I comes unexpectedly doesn't it? But sometimes when you need the release the most. Sending hugs your way.

@suzyQ3- I have no idea. The auras started just as I was finishing up shaving my legs, to be honest. Dermatologist visit tomorrow morning and I was doing a little advance preparation, LOL. Just as I was finishing up I thought “hmmmm, my visual auras are starting.” I walked out of the bathroom and glared at the laundry on the bed and thought of my dad and that was that. Who knows. I took my migraine medication immediately so hopefully it will lessen the severity of the headache when it hits.

I miss and think about my father everyday, too. I have moments like yours. I've decided that those are the times that he is touching my shoulder or giving me a hug to let me know that it's still OK. I just let the tears flow and remember. That's love.

Pretty common thing for me to have thoughts pop into my head just any ole time. Most are just things I remember, some good/some not so good, but mostly pretty neutral. No headaches or other physical reactions, just thoughts.

I like this when it happens, regardless of what it is about.

Yes, it will get better. Every once in awhile I will see something that reminds me of my dad, but I don’t burst into tears anymore. I cherish the good memories. Hugs.

My BFF's husband died unexpectedly this week, and I feel so bad for her. She is in the middle of her own health problems and this is such a blow.

It's possible your migraine triggered your emotional reaction, or vice versa.

I hope you can rest for awhile, take care.
