You might think you are going crazy, but you are not. You have suffered a loss and you are grieving. Crying at the drop of a hat, constantly forgetting things, feelings of anxiety and even anger can be everyday occurrences. Laughter and happy people seem out of place in your world. This is what grief looks like.
