Bereavement is always hard, and it’s a feeling unlike any other. No other emotion holds as much power over your being like the trauma (physical and mental), adversity, and stress that comes with losing a loved one. And while time does heal most things, the feeling never truly goes away unless you can find a way to effectively deal with the pain. But then again, not all coping strategies are effective, or even healthy for that matter – and that’s totally okay – we get it. It’s okay to not be okay, but this should only be temporary.
