This generalization makes non-grieving individuals generate judgements on individual’s grieving processes. However, not one individual grieves the same way. This generalization can be very harmful for a griever, I identify with this first hand. After my grandfather died my parents were very worried about me because I was not coping the same as my siblings. I have three other siblings and after my grandfather died they all wanted to be with our big family all the time. I on the other hand wanted to be by myself . My family is intensely extroverted, while I am quite and do not like to talk much. From my dismissive behavior towards my family members they began to worry about my dismissive behavior towards them. They surrounded and suffocated me with questions on if I was okay. I became extremely frustrated because all I want to do was sit in silence and think about memories I had with my grandpa, which was hard to do with my loud family around. This constant checking in on me made me distance myself even more than before. I wish someone realized that I was not processing wrong, but in my own
