Hoo. It’s nice to read that the “don’t give a fuck about anything” stage is a real thing. I am smack dab in the middle of that right now and I’m making so many bad decisions because of it. SO MANY!

I’m sorry for your loss and I’m glad to read that enjoyment will eventually return to my life on a regular basis.

When my dad died 11 years ago, he had cancer, and we could all see the end coming, but it didn’t make any of it one bit easier. The big surprise for me was how it was afterwards, alternating between pain/loss and almost total numbness. I remember feeling, for the first time in my life, that I didn’t give a fuck about anything. It *slowly* subsided, and I recall, about 6 months into it, being startled at feeling mild enjoyment about something.
This is all to say that I’m sorry for your loss, and that the emotions you’re feeling are really fully valid and normal, so, if you can, cut yourself some slack. Take care.
Tom
