The grief blindsides me as well. Today is a bad day. I'll be 74 on the 28th. I don't have an official prognosis for my COPD, for some reason I figure another 2 yrs, my father died at 76 -lung cancer.
Today I read that our monster leader wants to undo the globalization of the last 50 years. They want us to be self-reliant and make what we need in the US. First the corporations destroy societies of poor countries who were self-sustaining and their environments, now they want to undo it.
Meanwhile. dolphins are dying and sea lions are going mad because of toxins in the water they live in, Bayer intends to keep killing bees, EPA will allow PFAS to infiltrate human life support systems, thousands of Pronghorns starved in winter because ranchers fenced the land. The abandonment of loving domestic animals is completely normalized and goes on and on...
So, I can't do much exercise, but I can find the focus to read something meaningless and soothing.
Although at the other side of the pond, we’re sharing this small and precious world. We look at what happens at your end and are truly aghast. Yes, ‘we knew it was coming’… it doesn’t take away the grief of the loss of so much that we held sacred and true. The grief is sacred. It’s testimony of Love.
I’m in my early sixties. Feel blessed to have lived a life so long and so privileged. Feel grateful for all that’s still here to sustain and awe me. I walk with grief, always -

Be well
We're sixty seven. We fear for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.
We could leave this country, but we won't leave our family behind.
I feel you.
