Grief doesn't follow a schedule
It’s normal to feel numb, angry, exhausted, or nothing at all. Many people find the weeks after the funeral harder than the first days.
A support group or a counselor can help, even months from now. If a sudden loss happened at home, letting someone else handle the cleanup is one less thing you have to carry.
