Emotional trauma of loss
One of the things that we need to realize after we have started into any kind of separation, trauma or loss, is that there will be changes, there will be things to sort through and things to deal with. Things will be different for you. Some people seem to stutter as they go through these changes, it is fairly normal. The worst thing you can do is think that this stutter is a problem, it's not, it's only a speed bump on your way to recovery. I was told once by a doctor I was seeing about my accident, and some post-traumatic stress I was dealing with, that I had gotten over the accident, but I had never gotten through it. It really hit me that this was the way I dealt with a lot of things. I shoved them back and made myself make it passed it. We do want to move past these things but if we are not getting through them then the fact that we got over really means nothing. Let me see if I can explain.
