My daughter-in-law posted the link to this article today. It really nails what a lot of us are feeling right now. We are grieving…for what has already changed, and for what may yet change in an uncertain future.
Please do read the whole article—it offers some helpful suggestions for coping—but I have to quote this part. It is so right on:
There is something powerful about naming this as grief. It helps us feel what’s inside of us. So many have told me in the past week, “I’m telling my coworkers I’m having a hard time,” or “I cried last night.” When you name it, you feel it and it moves through you. Emotions need motion. It’s important we acknowledge what we go through.

That’s what I’ve been preaching for years. Emotions need to be acknowledged and expressed so they can move OUT of your system.
