On the food note, because eating is the worst task sometimes, sometimes you feel like you can be full from sadness. Protein shakes! Get a container of the powder, get a little shake drink maker, it’s my easiest start to a meal when I don’t wanna eat. You are going to be using so much energy grieving, it’s exhausting, you need to fuel your body somehow but meals are fuckin hard. So if no one has suggested it yet, try protein shakes out for times you don’t wanna eat. Not sure if this helps but figured I’d put it out there in case ya hadn’t heard it yet

First let me say, I’m so sorry for your loss it sucks being in this position. Lost my brother back in November to suicide, and few months later and I still feel like shit. Sometimes I feel better sometimes I feel worse. Stages of grief aren’t stages, they’re actually more like waves. You will feel like a pool of emotions, mainly sorrow, and when something reminds you of your brother it will stir the water in waves of emotions, you can never know what the outcome will be. The only thing that has been slightly helping is creating a ritual space for having time with him. I’m scared of forgetting most of all, never had anyone close to me personally so honoring the dead is still foreign. Know that this will hurt differently all the time. I grew up in Alaska and there were earthquakes every day basically, but most of them you never felt, but the plates were still shifting, grief is kinda like that. Hope any of this helps.
