Is it common for food to taste "off" when depressed?

11. I couldn't eat for almost a month after my mother died. I lost a lot of weight.

My stomach would just clench up if I tried.

I also availed myself of the hospice grief counseling. They're very good. Grief does suck, but don't fight it. The worst will pass in time. But it's only time that works, just time.

One of my favorite quotes is from Queen Elizabeth, "Grief is the price we pay for love." Thinking of it that way somehow comforts me.

My saving grace is always exercise. I just upped my running and began rowing as well. Spent more time working out. It helped, but even now the pain is there.

She died in 2017 at 90. Still breaks my heart to remember her face the day after the election, and it bothers me to think that was the last big event before her death. She was so disappointed.

Hang in there.
