This month will be a year since we saw jaundice in his eyes and we learned his liver was failing. It’s been 9 months since he passed away. I can’t find things to be happy about. I do what I need to do- work, sleep, eat, exercise, etc. even tried A weekend trip to visit family in Florida. Things work for moments. But then the distraction is over and I’m left with emptiness. I have things planned that would be fun, joined a girl gang group to go out to brunches and things. but I’m not looking forward to any of them. When I think about them I don’t get happy or excited. Nothing makes me happy. I go, try to be part of the world. Try to find something. But I just can’t find the joy in things like I used to. It feels forced. I don’t know how to be happy again.
