Going on 8 months since my Son passed--feeling very tired, just want to
sleep the week away. Realized its depression. thought I was "doing so
well".

Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

I remember feeling that way and after 11 years I still do from time to time.
Take care of yourself...sleep is a release. I'm thinking of you as my sons
sadiversary is rapidly approaching too :(

DAISY, thank you for answering my post.
So my sleeping so much is normal huh?
I had everyone so worried about me.

Sleeping alot after a tragedy like you experienced is very normal. It's our
bodies way of shutting down, giving us some time to get out thoughts,
dream.....yes you are very normal. I still have nightmares about Busters
death even after 11 years...but most dreams are filled with him where I can
see him and talk with him and it's wonderful. Hang in there, we're all here
for you sweetie.

I remember sleeping in the basement for a year and crawling upstairs
for food my mother would leave in the kitchen. I couldn't wait for
evening when everything was dark, and everyone else was sleeping. I
hated the activity of the outside world. I remember going to the mall
for the first time after my son died, to get a picture of him engraved
on a necklace. I felt like I was getting out of a coma, and couldn't
understand how the people around me could look so happy and the world
seemed so normal.
