Well,

Platitudes don't help.

Sometimes: the right drug, the one thought, a new fight, the one activity or 'talk' therapy might help. There is no one 'right' answer to your question.

You are still fairly new to this life altering experience. And that's what it is...

You may be in more grief than you realize. Where you were in 'fight' mode for a long duration, you are now moving on to the next phase. The uncertainty of what will be, the realization of what you've been through, what you have 'lost'. Battle fatigue. And grieving.

The one thing I do know is this: only time passing really helps. Going through the feelings; feeling lower than worm poop; coming out of the rain, into the sun...

And back and forth, up and down. I have learned to try and embrace the really good days, moments, events. Knowing full well that those empty, hollow, lost, 'what's the use' feelings will come again.

You will find something that is just your 'trigger', unique to your own experience.

empathetic hugs,
pattyz
