My grief was hard on Christmas day, my first Christmas without a dear friend, he died suddenly during the year, after a tragic quad accident. It was tough after spending last year together, putting flowers on a grave. It felt surreal, unfair, scary how things can change so much and without warning 🥺💚

Hi to all members of this community. In response to the check in questions, I'm struggling in my grief process on a couple of ways. I'm grieving the loss of the sense of who I was before severe depression hit and also actively grieving as I watch my Uncle in his transition process. He has been like a father to me and seeing him suffer is really hard. I'm managing to keep my head above water by reaching out to friends and family although as a family we are grieving together in a sense. The holidays are also really hard as it is a time of bittersweetness being grateful for who is in my life now and missing those I have lost like my Mom and Grandmothers. There is just a deep ache that is persistent.
