what do you think?
I think grieving is a process that happens in degrees. We find out she died...we grieve a little. We think of our lives together...we grieve as much as we can right now.

Something triggers us and we are back in the grief and we grieve a little more...

It is hard to say how long we may grieve, but we can only grieve as much as we allow us to at this time.

I think you care more than you can feel right now only because it is too much to expect to overcome a lifetime of pain and suffering in a couple weeks.

Be patient with yourself and allow grieving to happen at appropriate times and it will.
