It doesn't get any easier. It sucks. This society does not know how to give people space and let them grieve in peace. I have spent more damn time dealing with insurance companies, various agencies and businesses than I have mourning my loved one. I think having a very non-supportive family makes it all even worse. Her family was also totally non-supportive. Her name is a blessing and I wouldn't change a thing regardless of how painful this is. Thank you, Hekate.

Good for you. Toxic parents coming into your life now would be such a drag.
