How do you get through the day?

:what:For those of you going through grief right now what has helped you get through the day? I am really struggling to even make it through the day sometimes. It's been hard to concentrate in school. I am going to a support group and it has seemed to help some but things are still very hard.

When my grandad and nan passed i jsut stuck with my mates and they stuck by me they helped A LOT. School wasnt reli a priority at that time for me and the school was aware of that. But my advice would be to talk to people stick by your mates. nad if you need to cry then cry dont hold it back jsut let it out

Well school hasn't really been a priority for me right now either...I find it harder and harder each day to even go. It doesn't matter if I am physically at school...half of the time I am not there mentally. I can't even concentrate anymore...I'll be at lunch and I'll even zone out. I don't even feel like myself anymore. I feel numb and very insignifcant and like nobody really cares anymore.

Talk to people about good memories. Don't dwell on the fact you won't be able to see them. You will still be able to see the memories in your head. I think it is better to remember the person in a good way then to try and just get over it. Mourning is a rather slow process for some, however you've also got to remember that other people in your family are going through the same loss. Talking to each other will help out and it will help the pain go away much quicker.

my family has moved on. It is not really talked about in my family. They don't like to talk about any of that stuff. However, I am finally starting to grieve even though it's been a couple years since my uncles death. I have not dealt with any of the pain because I felt I had to be strong for everyone else at the time. I know now that, that was not a very good thing to do...it's not the best time to be strong. I think I also felt I had to be strong because i felt so unstable inside...I felt like in the inside I was falling apart. I just wanted to hold one thing together ya know? My journey through grief has just finally begun and it hurts but I am confident that I will heal.
