When is grief the most intense?
Everyone grieves a loss due to death in their unique way, and there is no timetable for grief. However, most grievers experience some/all of these reactions most profoundly in the immediate days/weeks following a loss but gradually return to a “new normal” in the weeks/months afterward.
How does it feel to lose a family?

Can a family death cause anxiety?
Grieving people often feel that they have lost their sense of safety and control in life, and they find themselves panicking or worrying excessively about what or whom else they could lose in the future. They also may have trouble sleeping or taking care of themselves, which can put them at higher risk for anxiety.
Why do I always think about loved ones dying?
Obsessive thoughts of death can come from anxiety as well as depression. They might include worrying that you or someone you love will die. These intrusive thoughts can start out as harmless passing thoughts, but we become fixated on them because they scare us.
Can grief make you nasty?
Grief feelings are often messy, complicated, ugly and sometimes make you feel like you’re a bad person, or like you’re going crazy. Don’t worry, you’re not a bad person. You’re probably just a normal person dealing with the sometimes bad thoughts grief creates.
