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've found that [b][i]if you let it[/i][/b], the pain does not stop but over time it contracts to a manageable presence.

I know nobody who ever loved me would want me to be perpetually crippled by grief.

My father died in 1989 and there are still times I think, "Dad will laugh so hard at that. I have to call him."
Then I remember, and briefly it's like the first day.

It's often useful if you can talk about the person you lost with someone else who was close. I think that's because it helps you realize they are still part of your world in a different form.

Your loved one is part of you, brain, blood and sinew. Be glad for that.

I couldn’t agree more🙂
@BananaBrown And in time it usually causes laughter, not tears. "Remember the time they....?"
