I had a horrific personal experience of this grief. It took me a long time to understand it was grief.

This also: “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” - Jamie Anderson Remember, as painful as it is, "this too shall pass" All the best to all of you out there. You have my love. There should be counsellors / therapists who understand and can help.

That quote from Jamie is really nice. This seem to correlate with my own experience. I still have strong feeling for someone I lost contact with, but I am not that much affected by the lost of my dog or grandfather. I liked my grandfather but wasn't that close, and also had more than enough occasion to express my emotion at the burial. And my dog, I think, regarding to said quote from Jamie, that I expressed my love of him without restreint. I am less sure about "this too shall pass", for that one person that is still (probably) alive. For some case, there might be something more to be done. For it to heal.
