Is it normal to have spurts of crying when you suffer a lose of someone close to you?!
Question: Is it normal to have spurts of crying when you suffer a lose of someone close to you.?
I lost a close friend of mine in an auto accident about a month ago. At first I cried and cried for the first few days until the funeral. After the funeral, I had some closure. But now, little things start making me tear up and I am so sad. Is this a normal grieving process.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Sorry to hear you are grieving. The crying is normal, there are a lot of different 'stages' you will go through that are very normal but often confusing. You are probably still in a bit of a shock. It's the suddenness of the death that makes it hard to bear. You will feel all the emotions like anger at what happened or even with the person, and at the world and the unfairness of it. You will think of her at the oddest moments and for a while it will make you feel sad, you may start crying for no reason! Some people when they lose a really close relative even start questioning their beliefs so don't be surprised if these feelings creep up on you.
Unfortunately I've lost many members of my family and friends and as a care-worker for the elderly, clients I really liked. I know grief far too well. It's different with each one and the emotions are strongest for those closest to you and they last the longest. You will get through it, it really does become easier with time, but please try and talk about your feelings with someone close. The more you can express how you feel the sooner the worst of the pain will go.

Hello Liz, I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your friend..
I know just what you are talking about, and yes it's very natural to have these feelings come up. Grieving is not an over night process you will have your good days and bad days this will last a while even years. That shock is gone but there will still be little things that will tear you up.
Grief concealing helps and just to have someone to talk with when you are feeling down helps allot.
I know this because my brother pass away 8 years ago, I can be driving down the street and I will find my self tearing up. So yes it's only natural..
Please talk with some one if you are feeling sad or depressed,
again I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with you. God BlessHealth Question & Answer

So sorry for the loss in your life, "and heart".
I must tell you that I've had many losses in my life. Truely, this will "ease" in time. Ease is the word you need to remember. You may never ever forget, but the pain will ease. I've lost several dogs, and a mother and son in less than 1 one year of each other....lost both of my parents, both my husbands parents, a nephew, a close friend, a great niece, a child neighbor, ....okay....etc, etc.... The pain does ease....truely does. The memories will pop up over and over,......but time heals this and is incredibly wonderful where it goes from ultimate pain to occasional memories, to moving into the "better and happier memories. Yes, the bad memories go to the sad, and on into the happier (funny) times and memories. There will be times where you will begin to "laugh" ..................your mind is healing at this point.
Allow the process to proceed. Allow reclusiveness, allow entrance, then allow flow of mind. This means, "cry, release, heal".
Only through these steps will you achieve "peace". And this will take time. Don't rush it. Go with the flow.Health Question & Answer

Just because it's been a month doesn't mean you stop caring or thinking about all the little things that remind you of her. It's going to take a while for the crying to stop. It's perfectly natural and normal to grieve.

There is no normal grieving process. Everybody is different and you will grieve until you have learned to live with it. Getting over it doesn't mean forgetting it only means learning to live with it. I am so sorry you lost your friend. It is very hard to loose someone young because we think of all the life they are missing out on. Keep the memory and you are a wonderful friend. Health Question & Answer
Yes, that is very much normal. The important thing with grieving is to just allow yourself to feel these emotions; in time, they will subside. Don't let anybody put you on psych meds--otherwise you'll have to do your grieving years into the future.

I think it is. If the grief goes on for a long period of time, or if it affects your daily activities, you might want consider seeing a therapist who specializes in grief. I think you're going through the normal process though.
