Widowed Village

A community of peers created by the Soaring Spirits Loss Foundation

From the day Mike was diagnosed, and still ongoing I've struggled with insomnia.  I haven't slept a full night in months. Like tonight, I just can't shut my mind off.  Last week it was tears, and lots of them.  When I can get to sleep, I usually wake up a couple hours later.  Sometimes it was from a dream, sometimes a panic attack, other times it was for no good reason at all. I have 3 young kids.  This, along with a couple hours in the AM when they are all in school, is the only time I have alone.  The only time I really have to work through my emotions, my grief.  While I know this is important, the lack of sleep is really getting to me.  I hope this works itself out in time. 

 

Any other night owls out there with me?
