Yep. True. I think also I was prepared. I knew he was dying, I visited him frequently during his illness, and I had visited him frequently over the past few years before his death. He was becoming frailer and frailer with each visit, even before he was sick, and he was quite old, so in a way, I think I was just more prepared than my siblings.

Some people do not grieve for years.
Others grieve for years.
