It comes in waves

I hear you. Sometimes it's pictures, smells, songs, places. Just let it happen and understand it's part of a process. 100% healthy and how our mind, body, and spirit process grief.

It's tough man. Even when you follow all the advice here or online sometimes nothing cuts it. One thing I've noticed helps me when all else fails, find a place where you can let it all out. When I do everything I can to fight the emotion and nothing works, I'll get in my car, find a secluded place and just let it go. I hate crying. I did it as a little kid quite a bit and so I have a deep hatred for crying over little things. This isn't one of those things. The more you bottle it up the worse you can feel. If you can find someone to talk to and get it out that way that's another option.

Either way this process is an emotional rollercoaster. I've gone from feeling great, feeling like I've accepted everything to feeling like I failed and the whole world is crumbling around me. You'll get through this and if you need to vent or talk hit me up. Good luck brother.

Read, journal, game. Keep that mind occupied.

Hang in there. They get shorter in duration

Find something to take your mind off of it, brother. Go to the gym, take a walk, etc...
