Dealing with grief is different for each individual

Q A family member passed recently and although it was after a long illness, I am surprised and a little disappointed with the reactions of some relatives.
This was a much loved individual and her loss leaves a great hole in our hearts.
Some relatives want to plan a vacation to “honor” her while others are encouraging her husband to get back out there and begin another relationship; because “that is what she would want.”
Maybe this is really old- fashioned, but I think after something like this happens, the person deserves a time of reflection and respect. Am I wrong?
(From a sister-in-law in Darlington).
A Everyone grieves in their own way. There is no recipe for a healthy method of adjusting to a loss.
Even if you grieve in a way that you feel honors the person, you may revisit those feelings frequently.
