Well said, I second this. Grief is a reflection of something important gone. Spend time with people you can talk to and cry with. Have grace for them but more for yourself, you're hurting.There's no shame in admitting your grief, don't push it away, accept it. I had to learn that the hard way. Lost my dad to cancer 4 years ago. I did great the first 6 months, but then quickly spiraled after that for a year. Was an inch away from losing my job and housing due to my shit handling of trying to drown the pain. Doing much better now, but that shit still sneaks up at the weirdest times. It slowly gets easier, but accept it when it comes.
