I don't particularly like your approach, and think holding all that crap in and 'getting on with it' is worse for you than venting/talking/whatever. But that works for me and I don't assume it's right for you.

I can't say I am a big fan of the way grief is handled in our society generally. As tragic and as emotional a loss can be, I tend to prefer to just move on ASAP. But pity, whether from self or others, has never been an attractive emotion to me unless it's combined with actual practical assistance.

You learn to live with loss. dwell on it continuously; and it imperils your sanity and your relationships with others.
Move on, reflect in moments of quiet, and try not to drag those about you down with you is the best advice I can give.
After my last post, I went downstairs, hugged my granddaughter and counted my blessings for the family and loved ones I still have.
I then spent some time in the Joke thread which lightened my mood and lifted my spirits.
Time to move on again, For me and this thread I think.
I'm off to do some finger painting with my granddaughter now.
Later people

The best thing to do is to talk about it. People die all the time. During your life, someone close to you will in all probability die before their time. Even when it's after a full and worthwhile life, it's still a shock. Though I've never really understood it when people are crying their eyes out at great-gran's funeral at the age of 112.
On the bright side, in a couple of hundred years, all that we do and experience will be relegated to genesreunited.
