For the past 5 years I have been to approx. 4-6 family and friends funerals a year, with the youngest funeral I was aged 1 spanning from health, malpractice, murder, suicide, drugs etc.
The only way forwards is by looking up and have a continuous support system, I have 1 person as my therapist who I tell all family woes to, my boyfriend, but before that it was my cousin who was going through the same thing as me.
I have many things to occupy me, work, more education, art, socializing, walks etc, but the best thing is talking with your support system.
There has obviously been funerals of family that I am not as close to but I am there for my family - though remember this takes a toll on you to. Your self care gives them self care. Just be for the people by smiling, helping them with even the simplest things and offer an opportunity for them to talk to you - because as Ive said, talking is key.
