For those who have lost someone close to you, how do you handle the hardest days?
It’s been a year ago today, but it still hurts the same.

I lost my parents when I was 7 and it took me a lot of years to accept it. I was very angry at the world, I struggled with blame and regret, I missed them so much and hated them for leaving me. Grief is the worst thing we ever face. I try to look at photos and talk about memories, the worst feeling is not remembering so I do what I can to make sure their memory lives on and in some way they’re still with me. Some days are hard, really hard and you kind of just have to accept that and know that you need to hurt and cry and mourn and then you pick yourself back up. It’s not what you want to hear but the pain never goes away, I don’t think it ever hurts less. The difference is that it’s less consuming and your brain has space for happy times too
@SW-User I’m so sorry for your loss. At least I had many years with my dad. I can only imagine having to deal with something so awful when so young. Thank you for the words of encouragement🧡

@BananaBrown you are lucky that you will have so many memories to treasure - on the bad days those memories will bring tears in the good days they’ll bring smiles. I’m sure there are far older and wiser people on here but I’d just say don’t fight what you’re feeling. Let yourself cry when you need to and know that it will be ok
