This may sound a little weird but I did this and I'm not a veteran or anything. My closest, only friend of 24 years died and at the time of her death, I was in the process of getting a divorce and had a three year old son. I did not have the time or energy to grieve her then. I had no family for support, either. So I had to delay it.

I actually did eventually grieve her passing. But it was much later when I was better able to handle it.
