If you have experienced a loss, we are very sorry to hear about it. Loss of a loved one is a major human stressor, but it is one that almost every human being experiences at some point in life, and some experience it many times. There are no rules. You already have built-in and wired in everything you need to face and move through this very human pain. In general, it is probably better for a grieving person to not isolate, or at least not isolate too severely or for too long. The support of friends and other loved ones who are sharing your grieving can be very healing. It may take a year to get through most of the grieving, because you may have to experience various holidays, birthdays and other yearly markers in order to more fully process the loss. don't be surprised if it takes longer than a year. If the grieving seems to be interfering with your life beyond what your friends and loved ones think appropriate, then counseling might help. But again, grieving is so human and so natural, even if it is the last thing you want to experience. You have everything you need to move on; be gentle with yourself.

What makes the grieving process easier?

First of all, allow it to run its course. Don't stifle it, and don't tell yourself to "get over it." It will be over when it is over. (Don't let other people tell you that, either.) A full grieving process takes about two years...IF it is allowed to continue normally. You will almost certainly be able to find grief support groups in your area, run by professionals who understand how to deal with these issues in a healthy way. Check with your local hospice center. They will have some resources. Otherwise, go to the local Mental Health Association for references. Avoid religion-based programs. This is not an indictment of religion, but merely a reflection of the fact that the people who run them are not necessarily trained in the most effective methods of grief therapy.

How do you grieve when someone dies?

There is no single answer to the question of how to grieve. It is a different process for everyone. Some people grieve for years after the loss of a spouse, son, daughter or sibling. Some folks never stop grieving after such a loss. The best thing I can say about how to deal with your grief is to do what feels right for you. Don't worry about how other people view your grieving. Grieving is a very personal and private process. It is the way we deal with loss. We laugh, cry, reflect. We wish, hope and despair. It is the begining of a healing process but only the begining. The saying goes "Time will heal all wounds". While I don't believe this is entirely true, I do believe it does help to heal our wounds. I lost my Mother almost two years ago and I'm not sure if I'm done with that process or not. In her latter years she was suffering physically and mentally and her passing was as much relief as loss. She was ready to go and although I miss her, I know she is much happier now. Good luck.

What if you can't deal with the fact that your cat is gone?

Give yourself time. Time is said to be a great healer. Some people take longer to recover and grieve than others, which is perfectly normal. The grieving process can take weeks or months - it really depends on the person. People cope with deaths in different ways; some talk, write, become very withdrawn, some will bottle it up and deal with grief privately. There is no correct way of grieving, so just do what feels right for you. So sorry for your loss.
