Feeling so UP and DOWN

Wondering Why You Feel So Up and Down

Grief can feel like you're wearing someone else’s skin—nothing fits, everything itches. One minute you're laughing at a memory, the next you're spiraling in sadness over it. That emotional inconsistency is normal. You’re not broken. You’re healing.

If you're unsure what you're feeling, ask yourself:  

- Are you looking for escape, questioning reality? You might be in denial.  

- Is frustration bubbling? That could be anger.  

- Playing back scenarios in your head? That’s bargaining talking.  

- Feeling heavy and distant? That’s often depression.  

- Starting to accept the new reality, little by little? That's a form of healing.

You're not alone. You don’t need to rush through grief or compare your journey to anyone else's. There’s no stopwatch on sorrow—and no shame in asking for support and we are here to help you with FREE support at Bereavment Care.
