How do you grieve?

[reiddb]

My mom passed away when I was 16 years old.  I looked at her in the casket and decided from then on that I would never look upon the dead again that way.  She looked NOTHING as I knew her and wanted to remember her in life, not in death.  I do like to get away and weep and weep.  I do not like to be around people for a while.  How about you?

I usually tried to distract myself with other things during the day, but then I would get sad when I was by myself going to bed.

Grief is extremely painful and everybody deals with it differently. I think the most important thing is not to ignore it. You have to get it out. The tears help and the passage of time helps. Sorry for your loss. My mother passed away in 1996 after a stroke 2 years earlier. She looked like an angel in her casket and the peaceful smile on her face was something I had not seen in so long. I'm so glad I have that smile to remember.

i think i grieve by busying myself as well.
but at night, when its time to sleep, all the troubles and thoughts start flooding in.... so i think its best to let it through

God bless you and your family,  grieving is something we are all doing or at least most of us, i just do my daily task and, keep on praising God everyday.  keep on believing that our family members are in a better place and will be accepted in Gods kingdom.  amen.

My grandmother passed away when I was 31.  I did not make it to the funeral because I couldn't get my sister to send me the money.  My mother passed when I was 37.  I could not bring myself to go look at her remains because I have always heard I looked like her.  I did, however, break down two weeks after she passed.  I don't know why.

I don't like to think about the death of my mother, because I like to remember her the way I knew her all my life. I still sometimes wonder that she is still here, though not in the physical form.
