I wish someone would talk about dark thoughts or thoughts of suicide during grief. Not like actionable thoughts but "oh I'm on a bridge, I could just jump off" kind of thoughts. I lost my best friend 4 months ago and after taking a trip to distract myself, getting back into work and self care, obviously therapy, I don't notice having thoughts like this anymore ❤ at the time it was hard to imagine they would go away but they did. To anyone watching or reading, the grieving doesn't stop but the healing does start.
Yes they are very real. For someone like me who's fighting with depression all the time, grief has brought pain 10 folds. "What's the point living this worthless life" thoughts and numbness are like evil friends we carry on our back.
