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. 😞

My parents were both in terrible discomfort weeks before they died, I was relieved they were finally not suffering anymore. I was extremely close to both of them, so of course I was sad and I still miss them to this day, but the memory of their situations near the end made it a little easier to deal with them finally being out of distress
