Others sit for hours, feeling as if they cannot move. Anger and tension Many people experience feelings of anger after a bereavement. Sometimes this anger comes out as directed at a doctor or nurse who cared for a loved one or at a member of the family. Or even at the dead person themselves for leaving them alone. It is natural to feel angry, but remember that although you may seek to blame others, your judgement of situations will have been altered by the intensity of your feelings after a death.
Many people go through periods of weeping and feeling extremely low after a death.
Not everyone automatically cries, but this does not mean that their feelings are any less intense. Most people report having 'bad days and good days'. They find they can hardly get up to face one day, but the next they find they can cope with some simple tasks. Feeling low after a death can be very long lasting. Longing and yearning The desire to turn the clock back and change the last words you exchanged with a partner, to see them again or to tell a partner something important, are all recognised as part of the grieving process.
