That's horrible. Do what you need to do to cope your OWN way. If the best way for you to deal with everything means go to work, then go to work. If the best way is to take time off, take time off. Everyone deals with things differently.

You have my condolences. :(

Holy shit that's awful. I can't even imagine.

Take care of yourself however you see fit. Go to the gym. Work 24 hours a day. Do nothing. Fap all day. Whatever gets you through the day do it.

Feel free to PM me if you want to vent less publicly.

keep your chin up.
It may be hard... even seem impossible... but it is what you need to do.

Wow, Sorry to hear this. I hope you'll find a way to take some time for yourself.
No one ever dies wishing they had spent more time at the office.

Such a monolithic loss in such a short period of time. Life has a way of compiling harshness on top of harshness. My most sincere condolences to you and your family. I hope you find the strength to persevere and cherish their memories. The most colossal loss I ever felt was when I last my grandfather, and I was a total wreck for a full week, and even though years have past, I miss the man more than ever. Take care of yourself man!

It is really, really tough to wrap your mind around the permanent loss of a loved one, episodic.

All I can say is "hang in there" and let your grief out when you need to.

Time is the true healing balm here, but how much time it takes varies for everyone. :thumbsup:
