Mair,
Grieving takes different forms for different people. I work as a volunteer in a hospice setting, and they don't even contact folks for bereavement counseling until at least 6 weeks after the death occurs.

There are so many, varied factors that come into play after one loses a loved one. (or maybe a partly-loved one.) There is all the shock, denial, anger, whatever.

Are you in a place that has hospice and/or bereavement services? That might be of great help.

When my dad died at age 14 (I was 14), I made myself a cup of instant coffee and drank it while my mother and sister were hysterical in the other room. We all deal with things differently, and if you have access to folks who deal with death and bereavement, it can be a great help.

Best regards,
Shar
