Thanks sun friend, Your words mean lot to me, you encourage me to keep going! Hope you have a lovely day ahead!
Thank you! It's bad enough to lose someone but all of the paperwork is a lot. My high is my caring friends. My low is figuring out how to settle debts without losing my home.

Hey coconut, thanks for joining our checkin this week! I am so sorry to hear about your loss, words are never enough, never say the right things, but I can relate to feeling super overwhelmed with paperwork. Time after loosing someone should be spent grieving but its often filled with tying up loose ends, managing paperwork, phone calls, lawyers, and worrying about finical stuff. I hope that you can carve out some time to just be, sending you comfort beams during this time. how are you holding up? you are not alone through this <3
Hey Ezra
I guess the high is that his estate is finally done. Final disbursements have been made. I just have to hold on to a pack of papers for one calendar year. I'm kind of torn about this though. It was a last connection to him and now it's done. Now what?
Anger and irritability have been an occasional issue. I just feel tired a lot. Emotions aren't as shut down as they were but now I cry at odd times which feels a little foolish because he's been gone a year now. I know there's no time line but ... people don't seem to understand. The occasional people in my real life think I should be over it
Coffee. Coffee and quiet

Hey soul, its nice to see you, thanks for joining our checkin this week,
that must give some sense of relief that the paperwork and such is done, and you dont have to stress about it no more. but I can see how it might feel like this is your last connection to him. but it doesnt have to be. Are there anyways that you like to stay connected to him? Lighting a candle, making their favorite meal, visiting their grave, doing an activity they liked? here are some other ideas to stay connected with him.
he will always be an important person in your life, and like you said there is no timeline, its totally normal to still cry, to feel emotions, to feel numb, for things to pop unexpectedly. but I can relate to the pressure that you might be feeling to "move on" but you will carry the grief for maybe the rest of your life, and it changes with you, but its always there, you have lost a important person to you. But please know what you are feeling is vaild, and that you deserve to have the space to grieve no matter how much time has passed. Im sorry to hear that there people in your life that are not so understanding. but your grief is welcome here <3 you are not alone
