I lost my best friend of 32 years mid September after only being diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of cancer. Her funeral was nearly 3 weeks ago and although I thought I was doing ok I’m not. I am finding it hard to sleep, eat, I exercise lots more and a new relationship is being strained. I feel like a zombie some days then I’m so angry others and then manic other days. I am exhausted. I feel like I can’t talk to anyone because this is my burden to bear. I am close to her family but don’t want to put on them. Any advice will be greatly received. TIA. X
