In reply to the discussion: grieving a suicide death of my son [View all]mahina
(18,945 posts)84. We have a lot in common. Sending you love and aloha and a prayer for easing your stress and pain.
Sending him peace. May your love light his path home.
If its a good time for suggestions- on a more practical level I can tell you that Ive learned that stress is not just an emotion but holds a complex of physiological parts. Drinking lots of water dilutes the saturation of stress hormones in your bloodstream. Putting your right hand on your heart skin to skin calms your nervous system. I dont know how or why but it works.
The last thing that helps me when I made a lot of pain is new chapter perfect calms stress vitamins. They are whole food derived and they really help me get through stressful times. I have no relation to the company.
Please feel free to reach out to me anytime, and Im here to listen.
