surround yourself with supportive people, keep yourself busy, find new hobbies, join a support group, consider getting more active if you can (running, lifting, hiking, etc)…also try to let yourself feel the pain—trying to suppress it will just hurt for longer. i’m so sorry you’re dealing with this right now, but you are strong and can do this 🫶

^^^ thisss. I also found journaling to be super healing (but may not be for you) just got out all the things I wanted to say. Each person will find what helps them but it also will just take time to detach. Trust time takes care of all things, and you’ll be better in a month and even better in 6

You should ask people who have also grieved a loved one under similar circumstances. They will help you

I don’t know if you’re religious or not but this is an anonymous platform so I have to take the risk of offending you (not my intention). Ask God for peace. God is the only reason I’m still here after experiencing so much death and tragedy at a young age.
