I just discovered this interesting article over at the Vitas Healthcare website: "You're Not Suffering One Loss, You're Suffering Many". When we really think about it, there are actually multiple losses we suffer when we experience the death of a loved one. The article lists over 20 ways we can feel loss. Some of the more relevant, in my own personal case, include a loss of self-confidence, a loss of known family structure, loss of direction, and a loss of ability to see choices. Do I feel like this all the time? No, for me a lot of these feelings ebb and flow from day to day, or even throughout the day. It's definitely worth a few minutes to read and go through the entire list -- the article does a really good job of clarifying a lot of the feelings and emotions people struggle with while they're grieving.
