I am sorry for your loss. You did your best!
Mental exhaustion begins long time before final event I believe. As there is roller coaster, turmoil, uncertainty and grief.
In fact, I am already needing to rebuild my life I.e grief for things lost and concentrate on what is ahead. Not easy but every little thing of doing something for myself helps.
Therapist asked me this week what would I do right now if I could do anything. Easy, no hesitation. I would pack suitcases and buy around the world ticket.
She said plan and visualize it.
It will not happen now.
But making plans helps.
Spoil yourself if you can. Spa weekend?
Maybe nice Caribbean cruise?

VERY normal. Give yourselves grace. Don’t try to toughen up or push through the tiredness. REST.

All the things you mention are normal, and many of us have experienced the same feelings. We’re all tired.

I am sorry for your loss, but I’m thankful that you no longer carry that heavy burden. I wish you peace.
