I know a little bit about grieving from a psychological point of view, but I'm steering clear of going for textbooks or written information at this point. It's comforting to hear about other people's experiences, and it's comforting to know that there is a basic process to go through, but beyond that I think getting information from 'authorities' would make me feel as though there's something I *should* be feeling right now, if that makes sense. My biggest and best instinct at this stage is to just let myself feel whatever it is I need to at any given moment.
