The times I have had to with the losses of a fair number of incredibly special and close people in my life.
In the main I've done so as privately as possible.

However I agree it's hard to deal with it.
There are ways eventually as bots said with the reality of it, that you function through it but for some it is always ongoing.

What I will add is sometimes and I found this myself, although dealing with a major loss last year.
I was eased through some of it by people on here.
Not family and friends but as to one on tibb especially and a few others too.
Was a way of release of what I felt privately.
Also with the support too of a former member of tibb.

I found writing about it and my feelings, easier than talking directly about it.

Those people I still thank immensely, and they know who they are.

However, it can be a devastating process that some find a way through fairly quickly, some a great deal longer and many years later, plus for some never.

Aww. I know time might be a great healer (and that might be true to some extent) but sadly I think grief’s just one of those things that we’re going to have to deal with for as long as we love. I ooze sympathy during times of bereavement (to whoever’s affected) but at the end of the day there’s no kind platitude (as welcome and appropriate as it might be) that’ll truly 100% make up for that loved one not being here anymore. Everyone deserves time to grieve properly and have a moment every now and then.
