How do you grieve

I think the short answer is, I don't know. Everyone grieves differently... or so they tell me. When my mother died, I was devastated; she was my world. But, as pivotal an event as that would be in my life, I was depressed far before that happened. At the time, I remember the teachers and therapists telling me that some people don't grieve until years after the event. I don't remember doing it - at least, nothing specific. If, by "grief" they meant "being very sad," then yes, I grieved... but then, I've been "very sad" for a huge portion of my life. Not to be overly dramatic here, but perhaps some people are in a state of perpetual grief? But then, I suppose that's exactly what depression is - perpetual grief. It depends on your definition.
