Just want to thank you guys again for taking your time to answer my question. It definitely came out at the perfect time. Your words truly help. Hope everyone has a great week!
This was very interesting to read. I am a grieving father who lost his daughter at birth and a Crossfitter. My experience has been that I struggle to find the energy to workout. My body has felt like its been run over by a truck after such a traumatic experience. It has been 9 months and so far I have been able to do the minimum to maintain a base level of fitness and just recently I have been able to ramp up a little more. When I am working out though, imagining my daughter watching me gives me a fuel like nothing else.
Woah, so sorry Kevin. I can't imagine that level of grief and pain. Only thing, I can help with is letting you know that you are in the right place. You are not supposed to feel like you have the energy to workout, and feeling like you have been run over by a truck makes sense. You can't control how long this last, but at some point it will get a fraction better. As you said, just recently you've been able to ramp up a little more. This is the process. It hurts. It sucks. It is necessary. So sorry my friend, and as Patrick said, we are rooting for you, and wishing you strength.
