As Ammi said it is very personal so however you choose to work through it will be right for you. A therapist is a good start I think.

Yeah I feel like i've covered up my grief with stuff like alcohol and weed too so I get where you're coming from. I want to deal with it, but I just find it so hard. And i'll be super sad for a while and the pretend like it's not real and the cycle just goes on and on. But yeah hopefully the therapist should be helpful

Cheers it'll be 10 months since I lost her this coming January, I still think "what if" most days, its something that never goes away, you just eventually learn to deal with the grief. |
I guess yeah time is a cure for anything. But that's good to hear that you don't think you were being a burden on your family. That makes me feel better about not wanting to just all keep it locked in myself. Thanks man

Yeah I know what you mean. I guess I just wish there was a simple solution which could make me get over it from one day to the next..
