Apart from everything else I am a bit frazzled from all the air travel… in the space of a couple of months I had 4 work flights, then 7 on a combined work/vacation thing, 4 to get to a funeral and back (flying out the same morning we heard the bad news), learning of the second bereavement while still there, and I have 4 more flights getting to and from NQ. It’s not the main thing but it’s hardly helping my mood.

Small amounts of airline travel is so discombobulating, you have had way too much to think straight. Plus having to cope with grief as well, it’s exhausting for your emotions. Especially one death after another. It becomes a blur of who to grieve for and when can I grieve and supporting those around you. Add the public aspect of your life as you travel with limited privacy to mourn.

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this.

When my father died I was unprepared for that level of grief, and then my mother-in-law died 3 weeks later. I had to compartmentalize the two deaths, as well as caring for 2 children under 4 years of age.
