It helps to know I'm not so unique.
B'lady, that's an overwhelming amount of loss for you. It must help to be able to trace the insomnia to something. You were so worried to be in its evil clutches. It helps me to know when my crazy symptoms make some sense. Sometimes they're just a message trying to get heard. I wish they would just mail me a nice letter instead of manifesting physically.
Iso, get all the info from your mom you can. More awful than losing people is losing the chance to know them. I barely knew my mom's history, and her surviving family hasn't been able to fill in much for me.
Writing is good. The only way through it is lots of tears and feeling sadness. Seems unfair, like a job on top of current stressors, but then again if the grief was over, that would be more sad. The grief is the last bit of connection.
