HI Jazzysmum. I"m sorry for your loss.

I am one who doesn't do medications. I find that staying busy with productive work helps a lot. But also facing the situation of what happened and how i'm feeling also helps. I'm rather a complex case starting at a very early age, so mine gets a bit to intense for most people. Heck, it's even been too intense for me at times. But I'm over that part now.

For me, breathing, grounding, positive affirmations and positive thinking all play a roll in how I do day by day. I see a therapist when I need help finding new tools or talking about a new development.

Look around. There are lots of really good, supportive people here, as well as good information.
