 A little stream of consciousness: I wish I was sombody's sombody again (thank you Prince). I feel like I'm just not needed anymore. The kids are grown and for the most part, taking care of themselves. Jack the Cat just needs me to feed him. I'm this close to starting up a dating app I want a drink, and then I get one, and immediately regret it. So I drink more

Trying to deal with it

 I still feel guilty. I feel like I could have done more. I also torture myself thinking "what if he was still in there when I pulled the plug? What if he knew what was going on?" I answer myself with the facts, that even so, he had gone without oxygen for too long, he would not have a real life. And even before his cardiac arrest, he didn't really have a life. He went to dialysis and watched TV. That was it. He had no real life. I feel guilty for myself. Even though I did pretty much all I could, I will alway think I should have done more.

Grief sucks

 The physical parts especially. I'm not really sad all that much anymore, but physically I'm a mess. I'm so tired. Even when I've slept good. And cold.... why am I so cold?? And everything hurts. I'm confused a lot. I lose my train of thought. I read that this can go on for years. YEARS. Ugh.  I took some Z-quil tonight for the first time in a while and I'm having a tiny glass of wine because that's all that was left. I feel like I could just pass out right now but I know if I go lay down, it'll be a while before I can sleep. And tomorrow it will have been 3 months. Thank god for the Calm app.
