Unable to get over a loss
2 years ago, my uncle (not biological) unexpectedly passed away in his sleep. His heart exploded. He basically raised me. When I lived with my biological parents, they all used drugs together. But he had been clean for over 5 years. I don't have any pictures of me with him or even of him. I didn't get to go to his funeral and I don't know where he is buried. I found out when I had returned from a weekend trip. I never got to say goodbye. 2 years later, the smallest thing will remind me of him and send me sobbing. Everytime it feels like I lost him all over again. I don't know what to do. Everyone moved on like nothing happened. I don't think I'll ever get over this pain and grief.

Hi Zodiac. I’m so sorry for your loss and that you never got to say goodbye to your uncle. Unresolved grief is always difficult to manage. Can you tell us more about what you are feeling?

I feel lost. I don’t even know where he is buried. I feel like I let him down. And I feel like I was let down. Everything hurts. Everything reminds me of him. I went to my first prom last week. I ended up in tears because he was supposed to be there. He won’t be there next year for my graduation. Or in the future at my wedding. I don’t know how life is supposed to go on now. It causes physical pain
