It is never easy to deal with the emotions associated with losing a loved one.  Grief and loss can result in sorrow, confusion, guilt, anger, and other strong emotions.  Some other possible feelings after the death of someone close to you may include:

• numbness and shock
• trouble eating or sleeping
• tightness in the throat and chest
• lack of energy and difficulty breathing

Having a strong support system is very helpful during these difficult times.  It is also a good time to check with your own physician or therapist, especially if any of these conditions seem overwhelming or persist.
