Re: As good as it gets .
Hey Buster. Bereavement is about as bad as it gets in life, you will know this of course having already lost your Dad. The pain can even be physical so try to roll with the punches if you can. That said, there are no rules when it comes to losing someone you love. Only time can ease those feelings of loss so know that this will get better, but its early days right now so allow yourself to grieve.
Bless your granddaughter, children are so often the source of the most comfort. If you can't see her as much due to covid, could you chat over Zoom or Skype? Keep your dogs close too. Look after yourself buddy.
