Take a moment to think if you have allowed yourself to grieve for the person who died. Sometimes you can get so wrapped up in the logistics of funeral arrangements, any legalities and looking after the remaining family that you don’t think about yourself and your feelings.
Are their things you may have liked to have said to the person who died? Maybe consider putting your thoughts about this down in writing; this can help you explore and express your own feelings.
Do you feel like you want to talk about the person who died but other people around you don’t seem to mention it, or even avoid talking to you? This happens because people can feel very awkward talking about death; if it feels right for you and you want to talk about the person who died, it might help for you to start the conversation about your bereavement. Once you have broached the subject it can almost ‘give permission’ for others to talk about it too.
