Is it more healing to mourn in isolation or with the support of friends?

Every person grieves in a different way.. some feel very bad when they mourn a loved one but they can't cry.. one can't force tears..they will flow when the right time is there.. then it's a release of tension. tears help if one can cry one should definitely not suppress it.. and a lot of people do want their best friends or some close family members support in such a time.. but don't want strangers... who don't even care.. others withdraw and need time to be alone.. and first often one is in a state of shock.. so it takes time for it to sink in that the loved one has passed on.. I call it ''crossed Rainbow bridge'' because I do believe that the soul lives on forever'' on a different sphere.. that we are not really dead that dying is not the end of existance really....





Some feel that it was unjust that this person had to pass on, some feel numb with shock.. so all that can happen and others sob and that is really the best way.. but one can't choose.. because we all deal differently with grief.. the person who can cry openly will most likely recover more easily as they let their tension out.. and if they can have the support of their friends.. and want the support of their friends.. it's easier.. if they choose isolation it will cause more procrastination and memories which are sweet and bitter at the same time.. and one feels sad and is all alone but also can't cry yet.. If one has good friends. or even one great friend.. I believe it's easier to have that friend there.. even if one doesn't talk much .. just to have that friend there and a good friend can understand you also by just showing he or she is there.. and by being silent.. until or unless you want to talk.. and it will not be an uncomfortable silence with a close friend but a silence that brings hope...and shows you ''I am here for you..if you need me, let me know'' that is a selfless sign of friendship...

Depends on the individual. I feel that moderation on both sides of this argument is in order. I feel like you may mourn with people who will give you their sympathies, I but I feel that when you are alone, you meditate and work things out, make sense of things for yourself. So it is good to have people there to make you feel a little better, but in the end you have to heal yourself. Is it more healing to mourn in isolation or with the support of friends?
It depends on your personality. Some find mourning with friends and family more healing and some prefer to do it privately. I would think maybe a little of both.
personally, I think it is, gives you time to think, but I guess it's different for every one.
personally, mourning alone helps because i tend to get very angry. but it all depends on the person.
