Hello There,

It took me some time finding a site that I thought could be useful and I am glad I stumbled across 7Cups. I recently lost a very close family member to a murder suicide and am currently struggling with my marriage. IT seems less these days that I can carry myself up right. I just need some support and guidance and experience.

@unlevelheaded6284 I'm sorry for your loss. Grief can take a lot out of us and in a way dim the world around us and make it difficult handle the stressors in our lives. I'm so glad you've reached out and joined this community.

Are there things you do that give you a break from the stressful aspects of your life? Like spending time with friends, going on a walk, or taking a long shower? Often activites that build us up fall out of our reach when we're grieving or stressed and it is important to intentionally engage in them to boost our ability to cope during difficult times.
