My grandma passed away this thursday. It was somewhat expected, she's been in and out from the hospital during the past 6 months, but it was still a small shock when mum called and told me. I'm of course mourning the loss, but am also thankful for all the good memories and that she lived a long and happy life.

But now this grief has really kickstarted my anxiety, and I haven't felt this bad for a long, long time. I'm not medicating, and haven't been to therapy since before covid started. I just feel really overwhelmed by the symptoms, and don't know what to do except just wait for them to pass along with the grief settling a bit... If anyone has got experience in grief and anxiety, I would be glad to read your stories if you want to share. I just think I need to vent a bit (hence this post), and feel like I'm not completely alone with this. Hugs to anyone who wants them🌸
