THE ABSENT-MINDED GRIEVER: DISTRACTED AFTER LOSS

THE ABSENT-MINDED GRIEVER: DISTRACTED AFTER LOSS
RACHEL
WECKBACHER Before I lost my son, I
was a fairly competent person. I have never met a person
that has suffered through the grieving process and come out unchanged. Some
grievers find themselves unable to listen to certain songs. Many grievers are
forced to battle depression or PTSD. Some grievers cannot bear to be alone. And
some grievers, like myself, find themselves completely distracted and unable to
focus. I have driven home and
not remembered the drive. I have arrived at the store only to completely forget
why I drove there in the first place. I have forgotten words, names, and dates.
My sister said to me last night, “Hey. Listen to me! And really listen, not
‘Rachel’ listen.” I have forgotten appointments and plans. I have arrived late
more times than I care to remember. In a moment of stress, I actually backed
quite slowly into a car that I would swear hadn’t been there a moment before.
Most recently, I stood in the store desperately wracking my brain in an attempt
to remember what I needed for my sister’s bridal shower. It wasn’t just one
thing I couldn’t remember. My mind was blank. Losing a pregnancy gives
you so much to think about. And losing a second trimester pregnancy after years
of infertility gives you some very serious and specific questions. And most difficult to
answer, of course, is “How do I live without my baby?” These
questions swirl throughout my brain all day, every day. The questions have no
real answers, and so they have no resolution. Who cares what that word is that
I can’t remember or why I came to the grocery store? When my heart and mind are
weighed down by grief and loss, and tough decisions, it’s awfully hard to focus
on the mundane. Since I lost my son, it
feels like I’m just bumbling my way through life, trying not to bump into
anyone. I’ve become the Absent-Minded Griever. It seems to me that it
would be easier if those of us who are grieving came with a warning label. “Hi!
I’m Rachel. I’ve lost two babies in the last six months so I can’t even
remember my middle name. My mind is a million miles away. Please be patient
with me.” What would yours say? |
