Am I Dealing With Grief Badly?

Question by Meg: Am I dealing with grief badly?
Two days ago I lost my grandfather, who was very close to me. His wife, my wonderful grandmother, died six months ago as well, and I find that I’m having a hard time coping with their passing. I haven’t been hungry since I was told of my grandfather’s death and whenever I do eat, I feel like I’m about to be ill. It’s getting harder to convince myself to eat, and I’m getting worried. I have had a history with eating disorders and I’m worried about relapsing. Is this just a normal stage of the grieving process, or should I talk to someone?

Best answer:

Answer by casimirforce
I agree, you should consult with a therapist to help you through the grieving process and prevent your relapse.

Best answer:

Answer by raisedbycoyotes
There used to be a lot listed, now there’s 5 I think. Just know that it’s like moving up and down a spiral staircase….they don’t happen in order.

Shock, bargaining, denial, sadness, acceptance.

Maybe….it’s been a while.
