As the days pass, fewer people talk about the deceased. This is a difficult period when you seem to be suffering alone. This can cause you to break many of the ties that can be helpful in the course of your grief. If you've lost a loved one, your major struggle is with depression. You experience overwhelming feelings of helplessness, guilt, hostility, and sometimes the strong desire to commit suicide.
Anger is another part of grief.
Common targets are nonsupportive family members, ambulance drivers, doctors, the police, and God. Most people who experience the death of a loved one are preoccupied with it. You may be caught up in a fantasy world about the deceased, or may be constantly trying to fight off thoughts of your loss. This can exhibit itself as an unwillingness to give up the attachment or as apathy toward life and other people. You may start to act like the deceased or perceive the deceased's presence in a dream, a fragrance, a footstep, a voice.
