I went away on a short holiday and got home last night to find out my friend died yesterday of cancer. I really feel lost...ive been trying to keep busy but keep breaking down. He was my age (30). Im suppose to be finding work and all the jobs ive applied for i havent heard back and im seeing my work and income case manager next week.A friend is gonna try and drive me up to the funeral on friday. My great uncle and a family friend aslo died this week. I feel like im silently falling aprt and theres nothing here in this world for me anymore. My partner is away working and cant get back for a few weeks.

Time will make it easier to cope. For right now write your feeling down in a journal. Read articles on grief on the web. Maybe read a book on grieving. And talk to your friend about your feelings.

I'm so sorry for your loss....I know you mentioned trying to stay busy right now, but it's ok to slow down and take some time to grieve.

Take good care of you and know that you aren't alone.

Losses can be hard to process, and dealing with several at one time can be extra hard.

Tired is right, time will make things easier.

If you are interested, there is a Bereavement group here. Those of us who post there are in various stages of dealing with grief. Please consider joining us.

Gentle hugs
