Grief does not give us the right to lash out at others. It does not give us a free pass on acting in whatever way we want. I know you are in pain. The pain is unbearable many times. But lashing out to others and using your anger to hurt others only hurts you more. I want to ask you this. Do you like the person you become when you talk badly about someone? Do you like the energy you have when you get angry at somebody?
The anger, bitterness, frustration. All of that can come with grief. It's so normal. It comes from this immense loss of control that we have over our lives. Our child is gone, there is no changing that.
After Aria died I had a lot of anger, though I would be the best mom afterward.
Telling someone that anger is bad, or to just stop being angry doesn't help. Anger in grief is so normal and it can show up in many ways. Anger at God, anger at a person, including the person who died. Anger at others, Anger at nothing but everything
