How did you cope with the death of a close family member?

Whether a parent, siblings, cousin or grandparents.
Were you very nervous upon hearing this news they passed? Were you able to do most normal day to day things?

I hope I can feel somewhat stable after my dad passes, he's in hospice now and I'm so nervous about him leaving, and how I'll be after. 😞

Its hard. I hope you have a lot of support. I don't and grief took a toll on my health, mentally and physically, despite my best efforts.

@Selah I do have my sister to a point for support, but she holds more resentment towards my dad, plus she's very ill herself. So the only support I have is here.

I'm sorry it took a toll..I think we really have to remember we have needs too and are in our own chapter of life. I feel almost guilty he's so sick, like I'm sitting here relatively healthy, and he could pass any day. I feel he should feel strong again...but we all are on our own different timelines and journey. I'm trying to really remember that.
