Confused Am I just weird?
I am not coping with a death of a loved one. I am coping with the
loss of a friend and lover. I keep fluctuating between feeling completely
empty and in pain to being ok. Am I just weird?

I would call that being normal...

Grief over loss can come through in many different ways...

I know people who laugh...not because they are happy but because that's their "normal" reaction to grief.

Me...I don't deal with loss... I never have... Not cold hearted---I just bottle it up so I don't have to deal with it.

Any kind of loss can cause us to grieve - doesn't necessarily have to be a loss through death.

You're not weird....you're just human with a compassionate heart.

No you're not weird...the feelings you describe are a perfectly normal part of the grief process and the road to healing...and it just shows you have a heart
