Belongs to: Therapist reacts to Alice in Chains Nutshell
the most I can say is nothing because I’m not there yet I’m still grieving and all I wanna do is nothing anymore
Hi there! Thank you saying these words out loud!
“Nutshell” carries so much weight, right ? These songs tells words about our moments and emotions when we have hard time to describe how we feel, or to express our situation.I know grieving can be so isolating, and it sounds like you’re sitting in a place where the world stopped. I feel you, i have been there not sure what to do, where to go and what’s the point in the end. It is a dark place that most of us have been or will probably at some point get. It’s okay to not have the words, to not have the energy right now.
Sometimes just allowing yourself to exist in that space, as difficult as it is, is part of the process. Grief isn’t something you’re meant to rush through—we go through that differently and from my experience there is no single way to handle that. It is differently for everyone, and that’s okay.
Please know you’re not alone in this. Even when you can’t say anything, just sharing where you are is enough. I hope you find moments, however small, to take a breath, to let the music support you in your feelings and maybe find other song to help or name your state.
I am sorry for what happened to you and please be sure these emotions are very important. Meaning someone importance!
Sending you my support, love, attention and hugs

Its important to keep those who have passed in our memories. Remember the good, the bad, and celebrate the person. When someone passes, its not just important to focus on the loss, but to focus on taking care of ourselves; physically, emotionally, and mentally.
The holidays are rough when it comes to loss. A suggestion that I have found helpful when dealing with the loss of my grandfather, who was like a father to me, was to celebrate his life and share stories with other family members and people who knew him. And if you would like reach out feel free. I would be happy to lend an ear.
Hi there - sending support as I know that grief can feel hopeless. Wherever you are in your healing journey is normal and navigating the lack of motivation you’re describing will become clearer as time passes. I know that talking to my loved ones about fond memories has helped me, maybe that can be a goal for you to work towards? You’re valid for needing to take time and space to exist and heal.
Best,
Maggie
Hi there friend,
Thank you so much for sharing. This song is so powerful. AIC captures such a surreal feeling so well. Grief is such a strange beast. It is a long and winding road filled with peaks and valleys. There are also no shortcuts in this long road. So please take as much time as you need. You have every right to. feel what you’re feeling. These feelings are real. You deserve all the grace and compassion as you travel through this process.
While this song emphasizes that this journey is done alone. It doesn’t have to be that way. We are here for you at Heart Support. You are loved, you are strong, and you matter. Please don’t forget that. We are stronger together. Please feel free to reach out to us at HS at any point. Sending love your way.

I know how you feel. And while I don’t know the circumstances around you, I just want you to know that you are not alone. I lost my Mom unexpectedly when she was hit by a drunk driver while jogging. There were often times when I felt like doing nothing. I didn’t want to talk to anyone, see anyone, or do anything. I laid on my bed alone for days. I was 12. It was in that stillness that I prayed for peace. And it came. Allow yourself this time to grieve and do nothing. It’s okay. It passes over. And the peace will come. I know it may not seem like it, but I’ve been there. You are not alone. It’s brave of you to even reach out in comment. When I was going through my trials, I couldn’t even do that. So thank you. It’s actually inspired me. Be good to yourself and know that the hard times won’t last forever.
