so my uncle died 5 years ago. he was my godfather, my uncle and my best friend. my doctor says that i'm not grieving correctly, even though it's been 5 years. i don't like to talk about him and i hate when other people talk about him. sometimes i feel like i just want to block him out all together, kind of like: he's gone and there's nothing you can do about it, so just drop it. i blocked most of his funeral and the days before he died out, and doc says that's no good either. well i was 10 what was i supposed to do? so basically what i want to know is .. is it normal to want to just block the dead out and basically pretend they never existed? i love my uncle a lot, but i feel like i still can't deal with it all, even after 5 years.
