I sorta banned myself from the internet that month as I was grieving all over the place as I had no one IRL to grieve to. I'm coming to terms with his loss, but I still keep going to hold the door open for him to follow me, or expecting to see him appear around the corner, so I guess it hasn't fully hit home.
