I suppose we all cope with grief and loss differently. I can empathise with Nora on this, as people seem to expect others to behave in a certain way, and it's hard enough coping with the thing itself without having to deal with others' needs or expectations.
I remember that when my father died of lung cancer, the main feeling was one of relief that it was over for him and for my mother. I was with her and I know she felt the same way. Other people clearly thought we should be in tears and wringing our hands.
