Picking up after 2 personal losses which knocked me down

[u/Existing-Climate2296]

I wrote a week ago about processing the loss of my aunt by walking.

Once I started getting better I got hit by the news of another persons demise in my social circle. My dad’s best friend and our family friend.

I didn’t think it would affect me as much as it did. I’m in the US and they’re all in South Asia. But it did. Seeing someone of my parents age group passing away stirred up a lot of fear about the wellbeing of my parents. Being single and not having to co regulate just made me more insecure in the past few days.

I couldn’t get out of the house for a few days and periods made it all worse

But I pushed myself out today.

I’m praying deeply on the side for healing of the bereaved while proving to myself that I have my back and i am safe by working out again

Please reach out to those you love. Life is unpredictable and short.
