Hi there, I’m dealing with the loss of my 36 year old son at the moment and I find that eating this way is helping immensely with keeping my emotions on an even keel. Since I’m not being flung about by sugar highs and lows any more, it’s been much easier to keep my balance during all of this and I’m grateful for that. I’ve also have had to go long periods without eating at times and, as all y’all know, it’s not been any kind of burden. This is a horrible time in so many ways, but I’m simply surprised that simply eating keto can help in a situation you never would have thought it designed for, but there you go. We’ve been eating this way for nearly four years now and it continues to provide us with benefits we never expected. We are doing well, not posting for anything more than letting y’all know this is helping us; but given that it helps so many people with mental health issues of all types, it’s not surprising.
NSV-Dealing With Grief
I’m so very sorry to hear about the loss of your son, condolences to you and your family during this difficult time 
I’m glad that this WOE is helping you through this in some way
I’m sorry for your loss, Jackie. Thanks for sharing that NSV.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, Jackie. It’s a powerful NSV, though not one that any of us anticipate needing…
(Paging @Karla_Sykes in case she would find some comfort here.) Karla buried her 19 yo son a few days ago and might appreciate seeing this thread.
All the best to you, Jackie!
I am so sorry that you are having to deal with the loss of your son, no parent wants to face that. I am glad that you are finding Keto a source of help for you during this very difficult period of your life. Wishing you peace and take care =).
Hello, I hope you are being supported in your grief. There are no words that make any of this any better, it is just a case of building the muscles we need to carry this new burden. I’m working on mine, but it will be a long journey, I know. I wish you the very best and please reach out if I can be of any help to you.
@jackieduke2003 so sorry to hear of your loss. I have a daughter of that age and my heart goes out to you. It is good to hear that the keto way of eating helps with the overwhelming waves of grief. Bless you and your family and friends at this terrible time.
I’m so very sorry about the loss of your son. My son died at 37. I truly understand what you are going through. I’m glad that Keto has helped you through it. I hardly ate much for 3 months afterward. After that I drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes. I realized one day that this was no way to live. I quit drinking and smoking and for the first time in my life I was fat. I had put on 30 lbs. Keto has also saved my life. I wish you the very best in all endeavors.
So very sorry for your loss…can’t think of anything worse❤️ My prayers go out to you and your husband.
