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. 😞

Great question - our oldest son passed away in July 2003, the only answer I can give is one day at a time, we still have our bad days

My wife was shattered and suffers badly

my other three children missed the older brother a lot, sadly he never got to see his two sisters get married and have children he would have annoyed the shit of of the kids
