I find myself being insincere when people ask "how are you doing" ?? I say I'm fine when I'm really not. However, lately I'm not doing that bad and I still wear the grief mask....Does anybody else do this??
If you feel like you want to move on and people expect you to be in the grief zone, do you tilt your head and still indicate that you are grieving when you are not???
Do you feel waves of guilt if you laugh and all of a sudden, you think that you shouldn't...
Just some thoughts I want to throw out....

By the way, thanks for all the input from everyone regarding my visiting the gravesite
Yes, thank you for that! This is my first time on board here and I was already glad I did it. You become afraid that if you don't say "I'm doing fine," people aren't going to want to be around anymore yet there is guilt in say it in the first place! How will you every be "fine"? Wishing you well.
What Are You Wearing?
in Loss of a Spouse, Partner, or Significant Other
