Grief is personal and you, a stranger on the internet, may have a similar experience and I may grieve for you....

...but I am not now entitled to tell you how to grieve, and neither are you entitled to tell me how...we are not now intimately connected that's bull

Exactly... grief is as unique as your DNA or your fingerprint. What works for one person might not work for the next.

@HootyTheNightOwl It was a little disturbing to have someone say to me that we are now intimately connected.
I talked to this fella a total of 2 times, always on a public forum.
It never stops amazing me that people believe on a place such as this, they have an automatic right to you and your life.

@Justmeraeagain Yeah... that's way too fast and too soon for me, too. I'd be creating more distance and blocking them myself.

@HootyTheNightOwl I did block him.

@Justmeraeagain That's good... you don't really need to be trying to figure him out on top of grieving.
