My best friend died last month and I miss him so much. We knew each other since we were children and have so many stories together and I feel like I am losing part of myself now that I don't have anyone to reminisce with. Can you tell me some coping strategies? Maybe pretend you are him and we share a few moments?
This is an incredibly difficult time for you, and my condolences on the loss of your good friend. While it's certainly normal to mourn lost friends - there are ways to cope. You may find it helpful to think back over your friendship and identify things about them both you enjoyed and was grateful for. Remembering these fond memories can help provide comfort in times when life doesn't seem as bright or full anymore.

Often, grieving involves processing old emotions; doing something you enjoy (even if it's simply watching comedy videos) could be a way to relieve stress and take your mind off painful thoughts without being directly focused on the death itself. It might also give you time to let those feelings out but still get some sense of normality back into your life. One thing to keep in mind is not to push yourself too hard too quickly though: your body will need proper rest and recovery time to heal from such a significant loss. In addition to helping your physical health, taking care of yourself psychologically has benefits well beyond just surviving this period. Take advantage of any resources nearby (such as books, support groups, or therapy sessions available within your local area) which may aid with navigating grief-related problems.
