Grief? Losing someone dear and close! :( I know about that. What I will add in, is don't let anyone push you to go at the pace they see best. Set your own pace. Everyone grieves in their own time and at their own pace! I know how hard it can be to lose someone near and dear, to not feel whole without them. Never a day goes by that I don't miss Carlie.

In between my older brother, mom, dad, little sister and me - we all grieved differently. I dealt with it by boxing everything up of his, and even to this day, I can't get myself to go through those boxes without totally losing it. They're all in storage.

I rarely express my grief - except in private. I've gotten really good at putting up a happy front. Which cracks sometimes.
