i can't seem to grieve over my grandmother's death. when i first found out she died, i was crying and just couldn't believe it. the next day i was fine and it just seemed that i got over it. i'm not sure if this is normal. plus i am so stressed from so many other things, and now my grandmothers death, that whenever i go to sleep, i wake up in the morning like i had to force my body to shut down and rest. my head feels like it's getting squished and i don't like it. because the weird thing is my body starts to relax and starts to calm down but my brain isn't ready. it's still awake and then when i finally do get up it feels like my brain didn't get much sleep but my body did. has anyone else felt this way? is it normal? should i see a doctor? i am running out on things to do. i feel like my body wants to give up and my brain wants to explode. i need help!!!

" I lost a baby in March 2008 and the first two days I was constantly in tears. On the thrid day I was fine. I felt horrible that I was feeling fine, I thought I was a terrible mother and that I had no heart. Now I know that I had so much going on in my life that I wouldn't allow myself to feel the pain. I felt the same way you did when I tried to sleep. Even if I 'slept' for 8 hours, my brain felt sleep deprived. Slowly things have gotten better and I have had more greiving days. You will get through this. Just make the time to grieve. Pass on helping others so that you can help yourself. "
