Reality of grief

I know grief all to well. I have been grieving for the last seven years. My father passed away seven years ago at the beginning of this month. Sometimes I feel like hiding under the covers and never coming out. Other times it is easier to pretend like nothing is happening. Keeping your mind off of it is easier said than done. At the end of the day. I am left with just my thoughts. I have accepted that my father passing is something that I will learn how to cope better with. For me that is what each and every day is about. It is about learning how to cope, and how to cope better.
