The husband is grieving for losing his mom and worries about the holidays and holidays. Talking to friends and writing in his journal helped him cope and reminds him that it's okay not feeling okay right now.

I just can't believe my mom is gone. It feels so surreal.
gpt
I know, it's really tough losing a parent.
human
I just keep thinking about all the times we won't get to spend together anymore. The holidays are going to be especially hard.
gpt
What have you been doing to cope?
human
Talking to my friends has really helped. And I've been writing in my journal a lot. It just helps to get all my thoughts and feelings out.
gpt
That's good. And how's your dad doing?
human
He's obviously really sad too, but we've been spending a lot of time together. It's been nice to have someone who knows what I'm going through.
gpt
I'm glad he's there for you. And remember, it's okay to not be okay right now. You don't have to pretend like everything's fine.
human
Thanks, I appreciate that. It's just hard to imagine ever feeling okay again.
gpt
I know it feels that way, but time really does help. And remember how proud your mom would be of all the things you've accomplished, like that shelf you put up?
human
Yeah, I know she would be. Thanks for reminding me of that.
gpt
Of course. We'll get through this together.
