😓 the pain lingers longer than most would empathize.

Yup a bunch of people. I still think about almost everyone I know that died almost every day. So for some reason I can never let go of that gut wrenching feeling. I have to stop myself from crying almost every day

You don’t. Years go by and one day you notice that you’re okay. That you’re not living in a stand still filled with pain anymore. You don’t know when it happened, but you started living your life again. And then other days, you’re filled with grief all over again. I’m sorry for your loss.
