Having gone through this, I can tell you what NOT to do. Don't try to suppress your emotions, but try not to wallow. Don't allow stress to overtake you, actively work toward managing it if it gets to be too much. Cry and get it out if/when you can. Take GREAT care of yourself so that it doesn't damage your health. Grief can wreck your body. Lean into any support system you have and avoid negative people. Take life minute by minute if you have to. Don't beat yourself up if you're not coping well.

Good luck, I hope it gets better.
Thanks so much- I looked up compound grief and it looks familiar, especially numbness which is where I am now. Sorry you’ve been through this too but thanks for replying. I will keep in mind all that you say.
