Grieving is an individual experience. How we grieve depends on so many factors which are unique to our own life experience. Some people let their feelings out; they cry or get angry, or both. Others go on about daily life, keep it all inside, trying to make sense of what has just happened in their own way. But they are not comfortable sharing their feelings with anyone, or maybe just a select few. Still others get busy. Action helps ease the feelings that are roiling around inside.
The best way to manage these differences is to let them be. No judgement. They will find their way back. If you are someone who needs to talk and share, a grief group may be the best solution, rather than depending on family members who do things differently than you.
