This is definitely my experience with grief, though so far I have stayed mostly on the shock, numbness, denial, and panic side. I would add anxiety and listlessness to that side as well. I have an appointment with a counselor next week to help me grieve well, though I am afraid that it will bring forth the anger, guilt, and other hard emotions that the numbness has kept at bay thus far. But I know it is necessary so that I can continue on to the hope and affirmation that I know I need so badly.
