Hi, I'm new to the community although not new to the grieving world. I lost my dad when I was 7 and my cousin when I was 21. Throughout my life I've been trying to cope with trauma and grief, trying to heal the wounds but just received news that my maternal grandfather passed away a couple hours ago. He lived in another country and was like my second dad, perhaps the only thing close I had to a dad even in the distance. I am breaking in every way possible. I knew this day would come but it just doesn't feel real. I'm in the shock/numb stage but feel incredibly sad. I told myself that this time I want to be able to cope in a healthy way. More support and less isolation 😔💔
