After you lose your best friend, how do you know when grieving them starts?

Grief is different for everyone. I think that each person works through their grief on a different timeline. When I lost my best friend I felt nothing for the first day or so. Then the pain was almost unbearable. But every day it got just a little bit better. A friend told me to think of grief as a box with a red pain button on the inside. Also in that box is a ball. When grief is new that ball is huge and, as it bounces around in the box, it hits that button all the time. As time goes on, the ball shrinks. It still hurts when it hits that pain button but it does hit less and less often. I know people always say "Let me know if I can do anything for you." But the best thing a friend told me was "I'm here for you to talk anytime you need. Even if you have to tell me the same story over and over again, I'll listen." That's what makes 7 Cups so great - we're here to listen.

I think it starts the moment when you know you have lost your best friend. Denial , blame and regret can be there at the start. Acceptance is what which might come at different times for different people. But when it does I think you are in a better situation to final say your goodbye. You miss your best friend and you cry at their memory. You remember having fun together, laughs and mischief all in one. Sometimes you feel lucky that you were able to know such a wonderful person in your life and he meant to something in your life.

i've lost a friend to sucide and a friend due to drugs and grieving starts for diffrent people at diffrent times sometimes it may be when you first hear the news that they are no more or sometimes it might be the thought that you won't share the same memories with them as you used to some people start to grieve when they realize that they are gone for example you want to share your feelings to them you pick you cell to reach out them to you and you realize that it won't be possible it never gets easy it just gets easier to live without them diffrent people move on at diffrent times but eventually you learn to live with it all we can do is pray that they are in peace and pray for the strength for his/her loved ones

Denial is the first sign of grief. If you are denying that your best friend is gone, there is a high chance you have started the grieving process. During the denial, you may feel fearful, in shock, and in confusion. Not everyone grieves in the same way - it's different for everyone. It's okay to show your emotions and take to someone. Some people may also feel anger instead of the denial, and this is completely normal too. Feeling any type of emotion is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Grief is very hard to deal with and everyone deals with it in different ways.

I'm my experience, there's no one way to start or finishing grieving or even know when to start or how to grieve. For each person I've lost in my life the process and timings have been different. We are all unique and the impact of a loss will effect us all differently. Don't feel like you have to grieve, it's not a mandatory requirement and you shouldn't force your yourself into a particular mould. Remember the times you shared with them, celebrate their life and let nature takes it's course some what. If grief doesn't ease naturally then there are avenues you can take to discuss and help you address it.

Grieving is not a mandatory process after a person passes. It is a natural reaction to a broken connection. You will see it is similar to when someone is broken up with. Grieving is a processing of an intense sadness. Delays in this process can be a lack of a connection with the person who has passed, or a shock to the fact that it indeed happened. If you are going to grieve, it is going to be when your mind is physically able to process that trauma. It is important not to force this process as it is, again, a reaction and not a mandatory process. People who routinely go through hard situations will not experience grief the same way as those who do not see those experiences for the obvious reason that they have already gone through it, they have a better idea of the process and how to manage. It is important that no matter what you are feeling, that you manage it properly.

When you keep thinking of your memories with them on a loop. And listen to sad music too. It is devastating, and hurts like anything, but, the grief is necessary. And simultaneously cathartic as well. You need to do all that you can to purge it out of your system, step by step. That includes and is not limited to sad music and reminiscing or rehashing old memories, but also actively distracting yourself. Especially physically. Getting into sports, indulging in hobbies, reading positive or favourite books, exercising, and the like. Getting a houseplant also sounds like a good idea.

Grieving the loss of your best friend can be hard. The first stage of grief is denial. This when people either think they are fine or they just don’t want to believe their best friend is gone for real. There’s is however no timetable for how long grief should last or how you should field. However, at some points, your painful emotions of that loss are expecting to improve. Remember there’s no proper way to grieve. It’s a process, especially when it’s the loss of someone you were close with for a long time. There’s no magic pills to throw at your emotions. Take good care of yourself, make that best friend proud by carry out her legacy. That’s what a/he would have wanted. I’m so sorry for your loss.

The grieving process is different for everyone. Everyone experiences grieving in their own way. It may come in feelings of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, or it may take on a unique experience unlike these. There is no wrong way to experience grief, but it may help to give yourself kindness and the permission to feel/not feel and experience/not experience grief in your own way. Understand that you don't have to pick apart or over-analyze your feelings (unless you feel that helps). Likewise, you don't have to allocate to your grief a certain period of time. Give yourself the gift of freedom from "fitting the mold" and the freedom to just experience whatever comes to you, if or when it comes to you, because everyone is different when it comes to loss.
