Hi @BeaFlower - I am so sorry for the loss of your aunt and all the sadness you feel. Sometimes family cannot deal with grief. That is when a support group or grief counselor can help.

When I lost my dad, I had to reinvent my life in a way because I thought so much about pleasing my dad and also convincing them to change in certain ways. Exercise, mindfulness, finding new activities and volunteering all helped me.

This is an example of a mindfulness short video that is a reminder to me to focus on something else besides the thoughts. Follow your breath not your thoughts - YouTube

You may know about these, but sometimes we need reminders Coping With Death and Grief - Focus on the Family
