If that works for you then yes it is okay.

crying is a good cleansing for your heart and mind, but there are more ways to deal with death besides crying and feeling bad about things... blocking things out is ok, but a temporary fix... like a bandaid.... You might consider doing some kind of service to help someone else... the big thing is to go out and forget yourself and by helping others in need, you will be able to feel better inside

with grief it's not so much how you express it but that you do express it,many people will bury it and carry it with them.you sound like a smart young women!they do say there is 5 stages to grief,I'm unsure if this is true,maybe you could investigate?life always goes on whether were ready or not,and better days always come whether we want to believe it or not.as long as you keep FEELING you'll be okay.It's shutting down that causes emotional issues.be strong

My dear you certainly can cry anytime you desire..Especially when a person loses someone close..I lost my mum mid Aug. and it hurt and still does..However time will heal the hurt. it never goes away completely..your thouhgts of that person will always be cherished..consider yourself very lucky you had someone to cry about..So cry all you want, whenever you want and try your best to get on with your life..Think good thoughts, Do good deeds, and treat others as you would like to be treated ..Your life will be Super..and hopefully you'll touch someone in your walk of life and make them feel good to..Good Luck..prayers are with you..

Just remember that you can only BLOCK the grief out, you can't turn it off or choose your feelings, and it's a real easy way to get lost thinking you can, believe me.

I'm not going to say it's okay, but I'll say that it's normal. When someone close to you passes away, your mind goes into shock mode. It's hard to believe that it's actually real, and sometimes your mind refuses to believe it. It's normal. If this question is related to you personally, I'm sorry for your loss.

Yes . Just the fact that you are crying is a sign you are healing.

This sounds perfectly normal to me.... unless, of course, you are just thinking about death in general and not mourning for someone in specific.

it`s the way i coped. after awhile, i would allow myself one hour after work. do find someone who loved the person as much as you did & grieve together.if the other person is strong enough.it takes a lot of strength to grieve,believe it or not.you do have to do it for your mental health.

i think most people deal with it like that, because you can't grieve forever, you have to move on,
