How does one grieve?

yeah. how does one do it? if only there's a formula, a methodology, a recipe, follow it and you'll be fine.

Two nights ago, I dreamt of my dad, he was in his familiar singlet and shorts, walking about the house as before. Yet, it was a strange dream because everyone in my dream seems to be aware that dad is dead but still lived with us, in our house! It was a warp dream and I felt warped dreaming about it.

Two months ago I cremated my dad, totally unexpected for his sudden departure. It feels very much like a dream still.

There are moments when I just weep and weep like now, is that normal? how long will it last?

I've heard a friend who had 2yrs of sleepless nights after her father passed away suddenly, 13years later, when she thinks about it, she still tears instantly... does death of a family member does that to all of us?

how would you grieve?
