Guest guest Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad in January, and I had a period of not being able to eat, followed by one of overeating. It will balance out... *hugs* > > I'm totally depressed at this moment. I'm suffering from a loss of dear ones and I have NO appetite. This is so foreign for me in that I usually have a 'cast iron' gut and eat regardless of what happens to me. I know this too will pass but wanted to post just to say what I usually would not say. Its my old stoic response in action. Don't want to put a damper on anyone there though. Its just where I am this day. > > Katcha > IEing since March 2007 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi, Katcha. You always have so much strength and wisdom to offer people on the list. How wise and brave of you to reach out when you're in need. I'm very sorry for your loss. The body knows what it needs in a crisis and it will know what it needs in the longer grieving. I hope you treat yourself very well and remember that people want to be there for you as much as you are for them. Hugs. April M.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for the loving note Latoya. Until I read your - " Have you noticed that your body is asking or wanting any things besides food for nourishment and care during this time? " It didn't dawn on me to be paying attention! My mind was so focused on the event that I had completely not looked at myself (beyond not eating). Something that I learned and added to my life some time back was hugging. I grew up in a non 'contact' family. We 'ribbed' each other, delivered 'punch lines' to each other, but pats on back and hand holding . . . horrors! At first a simple hug - only with hubby - was so foreign. But that and simple polite thank, I love yous etc. have enriched both of our lives. I even got to where I could hug people I wasn't a long time friend with. Contact with warm love behind it really helps me during such a time as this. ehugs, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > > > I'm totally depressed at this moment.
