I'm trying not to spiral but def feeling sad, blue, depressed with moments of feeling normal. I hate this! Any words of wisdom....I feel so ugh. Everyone else seems fine, normal, and I feel gross. The cashier at grocery store said you always look tired. Thanks lady:( no desire to tell her my troubles.

    I am sorry for your loss. I went thru this 10 years ago. My advice is to go talk to someone you trust a friend or therapist/doctor. Grief is a very tough thing as there are layers to this. It is natural to feel everything you are feeling but please look after yourself... Do not forget to eat drink and sleep ... Reach out to people on here

    Try to rest tonight

    Would be a great idea and grief support near where you live and be kind to yourself its a difficult time and no one can prepare you for the emotions that come with loss but do not bottle it up. Talking allows you to heal in the pace you need. Its not easy to lose a parent... Glad you are getting help
