like your grieving is “normal” when you don’t see the process of other people who have experienced the same loss as you grieve. I got into an argument with some of my family because I felt they just forgot about our grandpa (the one who died) but i came to realize that i was wrong and that they are doing it in their own way in what works for them (thankfully they weren’t mad at me). I do a lot of picnics at my grandpas grave, i talk to him at night a lot, i relisten to voicemails,

i will call his phone and leave a voice mail or sometimes text it, and i do things that we both enjoyed doing together and sharing to one and another (like crosswords and other brain puzzles). I see him in most things i do or places i go and i think about the happy things that cause me to remember him in those moments rather than focusing on not seeing him again. it’s hard, it is, but it’s a process and some days are easier than others

I also constantly go back and look at photos of him in childhood and early adulthood. so just revert your mind to positives, do things to connect with them, and also just let the process happen. if you force it or try to force yourself to speed up the process you may never fully grieve. it will happen over time naturally, it may not get super easier to deal with but you’ll get better at knowing how to cope and hangle those times which will make it easier

You will feel you are in control of your grief rather than having it control you because you will be at some point. maybe not right now and that’s ok but you are grieving and it’s a process. a process that does not have a timeline🫶🏻
