In reply to the discussion: My dad died Sunday. [View all]Dark n Stormy Knight
(10,064 posts)30. I'm so sorry for your losses. Grief can take a lot out of a person.
2020 really does suck. I keep thinking it can't get any worse. But I keep being proven wrong.
It's made worse because I've lost all of the things I used to do that helped me deal with stress and sadness. I have to find a way to get back to yoga, aerobic workouts, walks, meditation, playing my bass, gardening (lots to do, even in the fall & winter), etc.
I hope you can find coping strategies that work for you.

They say God gives you no more than you can handle, but at times, it's a real struggle.

Neither am I, mainly because of how religion is used by so many to take advantage of others.
