Hello there,
My name is besos, and I am new to this community. I am reaching out because I have recently experienced the loss of my parent; and I am struggling to come to terms with it. My parent and I were very close; and their passing has left a void that I am finding difficult to fill.
I have heard that this community is a supportive place for those dealing with grief and loss; and I am hoping to connect with others who might understand what I am going through. It is been challenging to navigate the waves of emotions; ranging from sadness and anger to confusion and a sense of emptiness.
One of the things I struggle with is finding ways to keep their memory alive in a positive way. I have been considering creating a memory book or even planting a tree in their honor; but I am unsure if these gestures will provide the comfort I am seeking.
Has anyone here tried something similar; or do you have other suggestions that have helped you honor your loved one?
I am curious about how others have managed their day to day life while grieving. Some days; even simple tasks feel overwhelming; and I would appreciate any advice on coping strategies that have worked for you.
Also, I have gone through this post; https://www.sueryder.org/grief-support/supporting-someone-bereaved/supporting-children-and-young-people/grief-and-bereavement-resourcesaws-devops/ which definitely helped me out a lot.
Whether it is finding the right support group; practicing mindfulness; or any other methods; I am open to trying different approaches.
Thankyou in advance for your help and assistance.
