How to Be Your Own Best Friend When You’re Grieving

[PartTimeBrewer]

I recently lost a friend unexpectedly. At one time, I would have called him a good friend but we had drifted apart after I retired and I was surprised to discover he had been suffering from leukemia for two years. And then I started beating myself up for being out of touch. it didn't help. But we all know that. We've all lost somebody unexpectedly, especially since covid. Here's an article that does help.

Thanks for the information PT and so sorry about your friend. As you know, I know all to well about losing someone to Covid and it’s just to much losing 2 children 3 years apart.

I just found this article written for Mother's day this morning. Even though late, it is still relevant.

I’m getting there very slowly. Jan 16th was 1 year since my daughter passed away from Covid. Feb 6th will be 3 years since my son passed away from liver problems.
