How come some people don't let you mourn over death of loved one?

Everyone has been telling me I need to move forward and once a person is dead they're dead.
I mom unexpectedly passed away and I'm devastated. I had to go back to work after I took a week off because I'm needed and they didn't let me take another week off when I wanted to. My moms memorial is next Saturday. I don't wanna do ANYTHING anymore. People have been inviting me to places but I've declined. My aunt askes if I wanted to go to the casino but I declined that too. She told me, "Look I know you're sadden about the loss of your mother. We all are but she wouldn't want you to be all sad and depressed and miss out on life. A evening/night out at the casino can cheer you up. Come on. Get dressed and lets go. I'm not taking no for an answer. My cousins were working that day and my male cousin was him and all the guys were there. Why didn't she ask him if he wanted to go? She's always asking ME not them. She prefers me over her other nieces. Anyways why can't people understand that I need to mourn some more? My dad said it's heartbreaking but we still gotta move forward and laying around sobbing won't do any good.

My family is insensitive.

So sorry for your loss -
I lost my Dad 2006-
This is what I did-
go be YOU and mourn somewhere alone that YOU want to be and just let it out ...
say everything you want or needed to be said ... “I loved you so much” “ I wanted to say this” whatever- let it out
I chose a cliff over the ocean near my home where I grew up -and my Dad raised me-
I’m at peace ✌🏽...
Good luck and peace .

I wasn't able to comprehend my Mom's death. Never fully mourned. It really fucked me up.
I ended up making a series of bad mistakes at work and lost my job.

Now, I have properly mourned her, and have come to accept her passing.

Allow yourself the time and necessity to properly mourn and grieve, even if Others won't allow you too. 💔💔💕💕🤗🤗
I'm so sorry for your loss.
It is true that you need to move forward but if its only just happened then yeah they are on you a bit too much. Work is usually bad, they normally demand you come back to work after 3 days here which isn't long enough for most people but your friends and family should let you grieve for whatever time you need but make sure you take care of yourself.
You mother wants you to live a full and happy life as we all loose our loved ones and carry on as your mother herself would have done also when she experienced loss.
Youll be able to feel your mother still loving you and it should bring you some comfort... They take their love with them ❤️

I'm so sorry. People who offer advice as you put it are really just looking for words they don't know how to express. They will miss the mark, as likely you have set the standard high - grief does that, you need to see who value you

A way to make the feeling of loneliness, missing that relationship, go away. Or at least how I see now what I did to friends after my father died; even if fairly.

Was a funny time of my life. Not entirely done. It never really is done. In grief you learn just how much someone meant to you. How another can't reproduce in you. It's not a wonder why many struggle

Your family may not be insensitive. They may not know how to express their inner feelings. It's normal.

My condolences to you

People handle grief differently and on their own time.

I am so sorry, loss of a loved one is the hardest thing in the world.
Your family is concerned about you. Take your own time to grieve. Sounds like you lost your Mom recently.

Sometimes people need to a lot of time to mourn and there’s nothing wrong with that. My dad passed away a little over 6 months ago. Take all the time you need

Sorry everyone is rushing you to get better. They need to leave you the fuck alone.

You need time to grieve. Yes you do need to move on but in your own time. You will feel better and be glad that you did what you needed

@SW-User not cool to me at all. I did lose my whole family to a drunk driver.

@SW-User That's hard. If it means anything, I know someone who lost her partner, two children, all at different times to drunk drivers. It's hard to imagine how that would happen to one person, it really is, even though it's common, tragically, it really is rare one deals with this three times on separate occasions
