I do the same. Once in a while I remind myself of the five stages of grief/loss and I go explicitly through all of them to see where I stand now. Although I sometimes feel stuck, doing this exercise explicitly helps me to see I make progress. Progress as in 'two steps forward, one step back', but progress nonetheless. Logic-ing or grounding is also something I recognize myself doing. And it can all be such simple accessible things to make it happen. For example, looking at a picture or video of my young nephews playing works wonders. Probably more than any talking session, although one has to also get the dirt work out of the way. The hard work of fixing stuff, and then relaxing by grounding work.
