So sorry Pocon. I'm going through the process myself. Try to talk. Be with people. Don't hide. You may find it easier to talk about things with strangers. I'm having a tough time with family, I think because our roles were very different. Be ready for the roller-coaster, but don't bury it. Talk with hospice or pastoral services or whomever about grief counseling. Lots of support out there but you have to want it.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
