[quote=Darog the Badger God] I know how you're feeling, Last year when my sister died, I told my parents and my two brothers that I wouldn't be going, got some weird looks from them. I just wasn't ready at all, and even a whole year after I still don't feel ready. Just do what you feel helps, fuck those that don't respect your decision.I personally hate that swarming effect, it's really annoying and doesn't allow me escape in my mind when I need to. However, my brother(youngest) he likes that feeling that people ask him if he's okay and that reassure him he's gonna be fine. People react/feel/think differently. [/quote] I know that people tend to react and grieve differently, and that people are generally social creatures. But there are enough cases of people who tend to adopt the "Leave me alone!" stance when upset that I'm surprised people don't know better than to give people some space during something like a funeral.
