I would think this soon after his death you would be grieving and not on somd checking to see what people are saying. I just don't understand this. I've seen this in so many threads, best friends, family members, co-workers, etc. It does not make sense. |
What am I supposed to be doing - sitting with my head in my hands sobbing until the funeral? Have you ever dealt with the loss of a close family member? Grief is a complex issue - you can't simply sit and think about how sad you are for hours on end. It's exhausting. I've spent the past few days trying to constantly distract myself so that I'm NOT crying 24/7.
You don't know how you'll react to a tragedy like this unless you're actually going through it. But thanks for telling me I'm not grieving correctly. I'll keep that in mind when I'm at the funeral this weekend.
And my account is new because of how I found this forum. I was googling for news articles about Sam's death. I found this, along with two Washington Post articles and video clips from fox 5 and NBC 4. I read through all of the comments, was more than a little upset by them, and felt the need to make an account and comment.
Since you're saying this happens every time someone dies, I'd guess I'm not too unusual in how I'm dealing with my grief.
