[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 687657, member: 100221"] These are all such sad stories of how bereavement and loss can affect not only our health but also our reactions. I believe loss and shock can trigger diabetes and this was my experience when I lost my own mother without warning 2.5 years ago. Sudden death is the most difficult and traumatic loss to experience. Don't be too hard on yourselves. The most helpful thing I found was checking into this site daily when I realised I needed to take control of my health after neglecting it because of trauma and stress. Just spending a few minutes here each day, reading others stories and being inspired by them, gave me a few rare moments to concentrate just on myself and learn how to put myself back together again. Even if you don't want to post, I would say it could be the first of many baby steps to restoring your health. Just check in daily, read the inspiring stories, and adopt some of the advice and make it your own. Gradually, you will be addressing your own health and improving it. At the height of my grief not only my health was affected but also my reactions to situations and my judgement in decision making. Discovering this site and giving myself a few minutes each day to accept my own condition and then address it has restored my well-being, not to mention gained me some wonderful new friends. Even though they are only online friends, there is no denying that we all care about each other and that same care will carry you through this difficult time, and remind you to take care of yourself too [/QUOTE]
