((billi leli)) - sometimes it's okay to have a good cry...it helps release a good deal of pain. But Gus mentions a good point, that it can take a toll on our bodies. There's a fine line between healthy grieving and destructive grieving.

Your Aunt must have been a special lady to leave such a lasting impression on you. Maybe when you're feeling stronger you could create a scrapbook in honor of your aunt...with pictures, things she liked to do and special times you shared. This activity will make you cry but it will also remind you of the good times and get you to focus on the beautiful person she was.

I suspect she wouldn't want you to spend too much time crying for her. As time passes I pray your grieving will slowly be replaced with all the fond memories and love you have for your Aunt. Be kind to yourself, the way your Aunt would be kind to you.
