How do you deal with the passing of family members?

Last year my Grandad died. Now my uncle has died.

On my own, usually. I've never shed a tear at a funeral, they always come later. Sometimes years later.

I was raised to be stoic and that basically means dissociate on command and appear okay in the face of any tragedy. Conventional wisdom says that's bad now so I'm trying to work on it.

@SwampFlower nothing wrong in that you deal with grief in your own way some can take it badly
