My condolences for your loss, AJ.

I'm sorry I missed your other post or I would have commented earlier. We all have different types of reactions that express our grief. I know I witnessed versions of grief around me that surprised me, at times unnerve me, especially my brother's.

I wish both you and your sister peach and strength during this time.

love and support,
Hank

You know I understand about people expecting certain emotions. Also, concrete things like cooking dinner and doing errands can be a very healthy way of dealing with whatever emotions you do have. Having tasks to get done helped me get through the brunt of the difficulties of the first week. You and your sister are lucky to have each other.

So sorry AJ. Being with with your sister, helping with the kids -- that's exactly where you need to be. Grieve the way that makes sense for you.
Hugs,
