Whether your loss was recent or years back, what has actually helped you get through on the day to day?
And what things have you done that you feel makes things worse.
For me what's helped is my best friend and also my cousin coming over to hang out and spend the night with me once a week. Playing video games, watching movies etc.
Another thing that's helped me get through the days is doing anything that my fiancé and I would do regularly. A walk near my house that we went on a few times a week. Going to restaurants that we would frequent.
Conversely things that have made my day worse is going to places we had only went once or twice; the thought of how I'll never get to go again to a place with my love really hurts me but going to places we planned to go to again but never did hurts even more and spins me out. Today I went to an arcade we had went to once and I thought about her the whole time. Wishing she was with me.
I've been trying to keep track of what seems to trigger me or help a little. So I can try and figure out what I should avoid doing in my day to day. Figured I'd ask everyone else what they've been doing and let everyone know I'm still doing my best to carry this weight even though most days I feel I am failing and don't really want to be here.
