What kind of shows do you like to watch? Are there any common elements that suck you in? Look for stories with those incorporated in them.
I adore reading, but every time I take a longer break from it, it always helps to start again with reading something small, around 250 pages or less. A smart way to build up endurance and check out an author is picking up a collection of short stories. Also, if you're a graphic novel person, those are great books to get you started (Junji Ito for horror manga is awesome)! Here are 5 short reads I loved:
1. And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer, Fredrik Backman (97 pages--ONLY if you want to sob)
2. Stories of Your Life and Others, Ted Chiang (281 pages--short SciFi stories)
3. Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut (179 pages--someone else suggested Kurt Vonnegut, and I can't agree enough)
4. Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino (165 pages--my favorite book ever; the imagery is breathtaking)
5. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams (216 pages--just fucking fun)
There are some bitchin' chicken soup with rice, beef stew, and Irish lamb stew recipes I've personalized over the years. Let me know if these count, and I'll share the details. When my sister got an immersion blender, she became the soup queen. If you'd like some of her tips/tricks and recipes for future reference, I can grab those too.
After my sister killed herself I continued texting her cell for about a year. I'd send her pictures, memes, and updates on my life. I'd tell her how much I missed her, and how lost I was without her. Oh, and jokes--I sent lots of jokes! (They recycle numbers kinda quickly though, so writing letters may be better if you can't pay their phone bill for long) Also, ketamine assisted psychotherapy was an absolute godsend in my grieving process. I recommend it to anyone and everyone who has lost a loved one.
