Don't allow the pain to frighten you. The hurt can feel like a bottomless pit, but you do eventually feel better. To hurt from a loss is normal and okay. You may feel life isn't worth living without the deceased. This is only a passing feeling, not an answer.
Intense weeping is one of the main expressions of grief.
It is a release of feelings as well as a means of making contact with others during these painful moments. Crying can be healthy and cleansing. But not everyone is a crier, so don't try to force this if it is not a natural way for you to react. During this time it's not uncommon for some people to yearn to be reunited with their loved one. You may actually imagine seeing her in places she used to frequent.
