I think you are being too hard on yourself. When my husband dies 8 years ago from cancer. I didn't see colors in the world for about 2 years. I was literally like a zombie. I got fussed at so much with people telling me I was letting things go on for so long and taking it so hard. I'm not mad at anyone, because I know they had good intentions. I started drinking quite a bit to numb my pain. BTW, that's not a good idea! Everyone grieves differently. Everyone grieves for different times. I am still sad, and I talk to Him everyday, hoping he can hear me.
I didn't climb out of the hole for 5 years. Yes it was that long before I even wanted to keep living. UP until that time I was just existing because I wouldn't die! Thankfully I didn't' go past just thinking of suicide. The Holy comforted me and reminded me that my life was not my own to take. Jesus paid for me the price of shedding His blood on the cross. Do what you need to do just get through one more minute, one hour, one day...….. etc. Don't expect anything out of yourself for as long a it takes. Sending hugs and positive prayers!
