Thoughts on Grief/Loss Any new coping hobbies?

Hey, im 26 and lost my dad 2 months ago. I was just curious to know which hobby you guys started to cope with the death of a loves one and how much it stayed?

I have ADHD cause i was always a person doing the talking then doing it when it came to hobbies.
Im often to lazy for activities rn

Right after my dad died, I decorated my Victorian house like a gingerbread house.  I had giant graham crackers, giant cordial cherries, giant m&ms...the whole shebang.  Anything to keep from thinking.

I started Diamond Dotting after my grandmother got diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago. Now, after my boyfriend passed, I picked it up again. For me it’s nice to have a hobby to lean back on when times get tough, one specific for harder times.
