Is this healthy? Is it wrong? I have never told anyone. Thanks

 From all I've heard in grief group or read, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to deal with loss. And no time frame either, no way you "should" feel or something you "should" do...
If it helps you, it helps. Keep doing it. If I were you, I wouldn't care if anyone knew or not. **** them. They are not in my shoes, so they have no position to judge. Sorry if I sound cynical, but I've been burned by a lot of people whom I thought were "friends".
Not exactly the same, but I miss my best friend who isn't gone per se, but now lives 2 states away. I often hug the stuffed Hello Kitty he gave me. It is like hugging HIM.
