Lost my wife (34) to cancer last month and I haven’t found any good resources to help me. How do you cope with their loss? Please remove if this isn’t allowed.

    Cry. Let it happen man. I’m tearing up thinking about what that would be like. Fuck being manly. Cry.

    The only way to get over these feelings is to let them run their course. You’ll never get over it, but you’ll learn to live with it.

      This is good advice but doesn’t cover the other part: how to live, how to progress.

      As in, even if you can express yourself, grief can still feel immobilizing
