Grief..... How do you deal with loss?

[Sopdet]

There are stages to grief, each person will deal with it differently and hit the different stages at different times. There is no right or wrong way to deal with grief. Each time I've dealt with grief I've done so differently.

It is a slow journey to work your way through it, my biggest piece of advice is to keep the lines of communication open and if you need to get professional assistance.

I'm really sorry for your loss. It is always hard but when it is unexpected then even more so.

I agree everyone's way of grieving is different and that you need to work through your grief whatever way is most beneficial for you. I was always raised to never show emotion in public - oh so very English! Because of that, I tend to internalise things and my grief can fester for quite a long time, and then hit me out of nowhere. My best friend is a heart on her sleeve kind of girl, and while her grief seems much more pronounced initially, she seems to work through it more quickly and then be more capable of moving on.

I hope the world is looking a little sunnier to you and your family soon.

Im so sorry for your loss.
Im a quiet griever, and prefer to exercise to the point of exhaustion, so that I dont hurt as much.
everyone is so different though
