Is this a normal form of grieving?

Post Reply New Topic

I recently had a fall out with someone who I was very close with when they opted to cut all ties with me after appearing to just turn cold on me unexpected.

Long story short I went to a convention over the weekend and I was looking forward to a good time and hopefully get my mind off this friend since I am working towards letting go. I ended up running into another network of mine who used to be associated with this person too. Seeing them brought back the good times which are now painful. This associate was also somewhat a part of those memories.

For instance, we both met this close friend of mine at the same time and it was a happy memory.

I want to know if this type of reaction is normal when going through all the motions of grieving.

Sounds pretty normal. Things like that take time.

I also went up the the pool area, layed down, and covered myself with a towel and cried. I started crying about some cards and other things that they had written me over the years about how

"They love me dearly" and "How they are like a sister to me."

It helped me realize that words are cheap.

You´re on your way.

I know that I am in the depression stage because I kept hearing songs about rejection and break up late Sunday morning.

One of them was the song "Fix you" by Cold Play. That one caused to sob uncontrollably and it was played by someone else at the convention via piano.

I cried pretty hard too.

sounds normal to me

Note that this was not an intimate relationship but a close friend who decided that they had enough of me. I did manage to write to the other person who I ran into during the convention and explain the situation that none of this is his fault. I hope that he will be understanding about it.

Kitacon in the UK by any chance?

That con was just going on over the weekend here. I didn't go, because well, it's what I like to call Sh*tacon.

No it is a con in the US for furries. I go every year and enjoy myself but this year was just really bad and seemed to be worse than last year.
