So you just, with life, you can choose to look at things different types of ways. We could wake up and be like, I... don't like anything and today's not gonna be a good day or we can wake up and be like, we're gonna try to make today the best day that we can. And so that's just kind of how I've chosen to go about life and

I'm not gonna say every day is great, but I try to like make sense of every day.

You know, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. Yeah. I think what I could say I kind of did wrong, even though I feel in the moment I tried my best and I did what I felt was right in the moment, was kind of run from what happened and pretend like it didn't happen.

But that led me to kind of go out more and drink more and party and just say yes to everything because I just wanted to be distracted. Yes. Whether it was a job, whether it was a party, whether it was the kickback, whatever it was, it was just like, sure, I'm there.

And then you also then your boundaries, you don't have boundaries when you start accepting everything and doing whatever and going out and you kind of like, for me, I was spiraling and not realizing that I was spiraling in that moment until I had to sit still for a while and look at myself and heal. It's been eight years now. So it took, it's taken time. And it never really feels

It's been eight years now. So it took, it's taken time. And it never really feels

better, but you learn to deal with that and you get stronger. So that hole is never closed, but you just learn to live with it. And for anyone going through grief, I would just say, give yourself grace, try to face it and not run from it. Even though denial, I feel like it's the first thing we all turn to. And just try to be around people who

that support you and love you and try to be around your family. But it's hard being around people that have never experienced anything like that. Cause then like you go somewhere, everyone's like, I'm sorry. And it's like, I actually don't want to hear this. I just want to like exist.

Yeah, that actually brought us together and brought us a lot closer. We were friends before all of that happened. But being that I had gone through a sudden loss, very similar, I was able to be there for him and in a way, That healed part of me that I didn't even realize was still open. And when things were coming up for him in a way, they were coming up for me as well.

So that was also part of my healing, was just being able to be supportive, but take a look in the mirror and realize, oh, there's certain parts... Of what you're dealing with that I need to confront as well.

And also, it was like during COVID, so you had a lot of time to just kind of sit with yourself and your thoughts and... We would go on bike rides and be outside, you know, just have time.
