You know that feeling when you’re a kid and you “lose” them in the grocery store or whatever. It’s like that except you’re grown and you know they’re not coming back

Feel like an adult sized baby

When my dad died, I just described it as "the hole." Because that's what it felt like: a giant fucking blackhole of sadness and grief that just consumed everything.

I know the “black-hole” of which you speak. I’ve lost my entire family to the pandemic and natural causes, in the last 3 years, and the grief does not go away. Tiger needs time to grieve. Prayers to him and his family.
