Lean in to the Grief

September 1, 2020September 1, 2020 / Viv@Grief Happens / 6 Comments

Things are hard, and today I need to feel it.

Couples With ADHD

November 17, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 15 Comments

Y'all. I swear. Some days all I can do is laugh...because really there are simply no words. Since I told you about my Lexapro flu in my last post, I'll pick up from there. I went for my three-week follow-up on Wednesday, and he convinced me to give Vyvanse another go. So far so good. … Continue reading Couples With ADHD

Down With the Lexapro Flu

November 14, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 12 Comments

Hello, Friends! It's been awhile. It's hard to write, work, care-take, AND get the fifteen-plus hours of sleep I need when I bite the bullet and go back on antidepressants. Since I last wrote, I had a promising appointment with a new doctor, and I've been taking a low-dose of Lexapro for three weeks. I … Continue reading Down With the Lexapro Flu

Does the Why Even Matter?

October 17, 2017October 18, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 10 Comments

I've shared in previous posts that I'm slogging through what feels like a significant depression. I feel like I can't move myself and trudge through the daily tasks. The simplest things take what feels like a herculean effort, and lately I'm just not up for any of it. Then there's the anger. So much anger. … Continue reading Does the Why Even Matter?

Dealing With All the Past Life Fashizzle.

October 16, 2017October 16, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 8 Comments

Friends. We have to talk. I need your help and input. I am knee-deep in my past life - in the form of pictures, wedding announcements, baby bracelets my children wore in the hospital. For the love of Elton John, y'all. It is getting so real in this organizing fiasco that is supposed to make … Continue reading Dealing With All the Past Life Fashizzle.

Out With the Old

October 8, 2017October 9, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 9 Comments

The visit from the organizer has done a number on my psyche. It's jacked with my zen. Put a damper on my chi. It's been a week, and she left me with what one might call a manageable list. Except it feels like anything but that... I hate lists. Hate them. They don't give me … Continue reading Out With the Old

Writing Through the Unpretty

October 6, 2017October 6, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 5 Comments

It's Friday...hello, call me Captain Obvious. I'm welded to my couch and have little interest in separating myself from it. This is the first day of the week where I haven't had to rush out the door first thing in the morning.  It's been a busy one with no end in sight. So many thoughts … Continue reading Writing Through the Unpretty

Drastic Measure Time

October 2, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 8 Comments

I'm here, writing again. It's going to be painful, arduous, non-flowy. It always happens this way after a break. I haven't been okay for some time now. I mean, physically I'm okay. And really, I'm managing...but I'm far from thriving. The world and the lens from which I view it is that hazy gray color … Continue reading Drastic Measure Time

A Quick Check-in…

May 4, 2017May 6, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 24 Comments

Hello, my dear Grief Happens readers. I've missed you! I'm fighting the urge to vomit out everything that's going on in my life. I mean...I want to share, but it feels like too much. Not too much in the normal way that I typically feel like it's all too much, though. This feels heavier and … Continue reading A Quick Check-in…

Bodywork, Yoga, Grounding

December 21, 2016December 28, 2016 / Viv@Grief Happens / 35 Comments

"You need bodywork," my wise friend said matter-of-factly. I knew she was right. This misalignment often happens to me when I spend too much time in my head -- working, writing, over-analyzing. But this is more than that. This is something that's been going on for a long time now, and something I've turned away … Continue reading Bodywork, Yoga, Grounding
