How do we cope

Hello Slinky . we cope by taking 1 day at a time . Hopefully you have someone to support you ..family or friends .  We all know this grief is far worse than we could ever have imagined. Of course we know there is going to be a deep sorrow and so much pain after losing a Loved  one . But nobody tells us about the many other emotions that come along with everything else . And it is so very Overwhelming. It is really difficult to think straight. We are in shock. and our brains take a long time to process  this significant loss. We suffer Sleep deprivation. Loss of appetite , exhaustion and some experience Panic attacks denial ,Anger and sometimes even jealousy. So don't worry if these emotions affect you ta different stages and some altogether . It helps to express your thoughts and feelings here .
