re: What happens the moment we learn someone we love has died ?

I cried immediately when I was told my grandfather died even though I knew it was coming for months. Was very sad but only cried softly and for a short time

When I got the call at 3am that my best friend died unexpectedly at age 21 I didn't say a word, sat in silence for probably 2 hours, and when I finally called and woke up my mom and told her and actually said out loud the words is when I started sobbing. That lasted the entire next day and then off and on the next week until after the funeral.
