"The first six weeks, I hardly knew where I was..."
It is well known among bereavement counselors that grieving has real, physical, consequences for mourners, including changes in appetite, weight loss, sleep disturbances, memory problems, and also the exacerbation of pre-existing health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, allergies and digestive disorders. Disruption of eating and sleeping habits are by far the most common, affecting a person's ability to focus and concentrate, and also memory. When a person isn't sleeping properly, daily events do not make the journey from the short term memory file into the long term memory file, and can simply dissipate, like snowflakes melting on a tin roof. When death is sudden or unexpected, even if the loved one was elderly, the impact is even greater.
