re: Does it get easier(losing a family member)?

Lost my dad 4 years ago pretty suddenly (he was young and so was I for that to happen), it’s hard to explain but yes it gets better.

I’d say the pain is still there but it just sort of.....becomes more dull and isn’t as sharp.....if that makes any sense at all

ETA: just thinking about this one thing I really enjoy to this day is hearing his friends (a lot of them are my friends) or even people I never knew tell me stories of what a great guy he was and things he did for them I didn’t even know about. Of course I knew he was a good guy and helped a lot of people out but it never gets old hearing the stuff, even if I’ve heard it before. If you have the chance try to talk to someone who might give you stories like that
