Yes, when my mother died I cried but not like the ugly cry as I would say. My mother taught me to let the cry let it out and let’s go and keep moving forward. You have work to do. What I remember is coming back to live in the house that I grew up in. I was get ready to donate her clothes and I just couldn’t I just broke down my neighbors walked over and just heard me wailing it was horrible. My dad was on a work trip. It was just hard. I realize I didn’t really deal with it until like years later. At that time I got to do everything by myself now. Now from time to time I have a little moments where I remember a good things about her. It brings about a couple of tears or I’m watching a movie. I think as long as I am doing what makes her proud everyday. That’s all that matters
I don't react at first really. I just get angry, like somebody wronged me and I have to go find the answer. I look for meaning, I want some kind of revenge. I think this was specific to my 4 month old dog that got hit by a car last year. I still think the neighbor killed him and lied about it... but frankly, I had to make peace. I loved that dog more than most things. I was and am very depressed and he was the thing that helped me get through my Grandmother, Uncle, and family friend's death that and the previous year. He helped me get through a sexual assault. I can wholeheartedly say, my dog's death felt worse than any of those deaths. It hit me like a boulder. I cried for a few minutes at first. And then I wanted revenge for 3 whole says. It felt like I couldn't breathe and had to find air. And then it hit me. He was gone. And that was the worst part of it. That I would never see him again. And how young he was, how he only got to experience life for a minute. And how I'm selfishly here not appreciating all the time I've had. Made me appreciate those sad dog death movies which I never quite got. Now he sits on my mantle in a box. But I guess I just don't react as most people do at first you could say.
i think so. some people begin to grieve right after they've lost what was important to them. other people (like me) will let it sit with them for a while before they begin the grieving process, maybe from shock or soemtging else. it depends on other outside factors and what you're grieving too. like, i've never truly grieved the loss of a family member yet, but with a pet it happened right away, and with my last relationship it took me maybe a month to start grieving after it ended. but i know my ex grieved right away.
Yes people grieve in different ways and different times. There's no right or wrong way to grieve. It's trying to not let the grief overcome you, take over your whole existence. We never truly stop grieving or missing the loved ones we've lost. We learn to live past it.
Yeah everyone grieve differently within their own pace. There’s never a right or wrong, but we all go through different stages of grieving until we’re moved past it. I’m definitely one of those m who keeps myself on check with keeping busy with my life, priorities, and surround with good people or strictly isolate myself... I tried numbing the pain... but night time is usually the hardest when all the feels come in.
Yes. I also believe an individual grieves differently with different people they lose too. For example; I grieved differently when my friend of mine died compared to when my brother died. Some people accept the loss right away, others accept it in time, but some never do.
It's funny you should bring this up. I've yet to officially grieve for my father. Things have been so busy and with co vid, it's been tough to find places that are open or safe to go to that remind me of my dad... For me, I had some gieving at the start but I feel some needs to be let out sometime this year at some point
Yes. Most people think that someone who is grieving will be super quiet, will cry all the time and stop leaving their house but that's not always true.
Each person grieves in their own way and many people can be in denial or shock that someone they loved died until it suddenly hits them.
I lost my father last year... and everyone tells you takes time you will get over it... THAT IS BULLSHIT... you learn to deal with it... it's been a year and a half... and im still not close to over it

Yes. Some people cry it out, other laugh it out, or resort to more drastic ways... Most of the time I grieved right away and things got better with time. But I remember once after a loss, it had been about 2 months and I broke down for probably the first time. I grieve in two ways.
Yes that's for sure we are all different and something have more meaning to us than others it might take 20 min for it to happen. It could be 6 months. It will happen when your ready for it to happen
Totally. When my father passed away I was busy making arrangements and trying to be strongfor the family. So didn't get a chance to grieve. I still haven't, but now don't know how.
I've had delayed grief a few times so I guess I need processing time before I get there. Some people seem to be much more in the moment and in touch and I envy that.
