I’m really sorry too.

Be kind to yourself. I think it’s a great idea to do what makes your body feel healthy, but avoid goals that will make you feel worse if you can’t make them.

I am so sorry for your loss.

My father died 18 months ago, and I will say, Yes, next week will be better. Next month will be better. Next year will be better. Don’t push yourself too hard, too soon.

I’m so sorry to hear about your dad! I agree with everyone else – take care of yourself how ever you can. I’ll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

I’m very sorry to hear about your dad. I agree that there must have been a trend a few weeks ago. My grandma died a little over two weeks ago and I spent the week after in a cycle of crying and family dinners and eating too much and exercising too little. Give yourself time to do this. As much time as you need. It’s OK. I think I’ve passed through the “wanting to sleep all the time” phase and am slowly getting back into the routine, but it’s a process.

Be well and do what feels right to you.

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. You get more than one week to feel sad and grieve. In fact, you get as much time as you want. You don’t have to get back into the gym, but how about walks. You can bring someone with you or you can go by yourself. It is okay if you cry when you are walking (that’s actually a rule) and if you wear sunglasses, no one even has to know.

Just be kind to yourself in whatever form that takes until you are ready.

I’m so sorry to hear this. It is completely OK to take a break right now — just be kind to yourself.
