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. 😞

Boeing · 36-40

We weren't sharing blood relations but was my boyfriend, we've lived together and shared life.
How I coped? I danced. I sung, I joined a choir - I even frequented a mourning voice release workshop twice that I found.. I focused on healing issues on my body that I have left behind, I did a ton of work therapy, focused intensively for long periods on renovating my apartment, worked on my diploma at the time, read books... went to parties with friends, smoked some weed. Hiking. Cooking. Allowing daily life to take me back in...... talking to the sea and to the forests and to close friends or people who appeared 🩵

@Boeing He died young, I'm sorry. What happened? Those are some very healing ideas, thank you. 🦋
