Nah.
Grieving a death does not mean one needs to be miserable. Of course it should involve sadness but it also involves moving on. People grieve in different ways, but it is in no way disrespectful to try and seek happiness and move on. Always remember that you have to do what's best for YOURSELF and not for others.
I know this sounds grim, but imagine you died. Of course, you would want people to be sad, but you would want them to continue to live their lives and seek their own happiness without you, correct?

No not at all Scooter, I assume you met this dear someone here, and what happened in your connection was a growing, and communicating beyond here. I have to believe there was some mutual enjoyment, but "slowly" is the process and I doubt you will be less thought of in the doing.

(((Hugs))) I'm sorry to hear of your loss.. Of course it is, guilt is a part of most everyone's grieving process..you're going on living while they're gone. Keep in mind though that they would want you to continue on and be happy. Enjoy yourself while cherishing the memory of them. Just because they're not here anymore doesn't mean they're not out having a blast elsewhere.

No. You are doing what that person would be doing with you if he/she were here today. Is this kind of guilt normal? Yes. Of course we realize this isn't disrespectful at all.

Its okay.((hugs))
You may feel like it’s not appropriate to laugh or feel
good while you’re grieving...but laughter does not disrespect
the memory of your loved one,and it doesn’t mean
you’ve forgotten them.
Don’t let anybody "should" on you.
Never let others take your grief away from you,
minimize your loss,
or tell you how you should or shouldn’t grieve.

I am sorry you are grieving..
It is normal to feel strange when you are changing moods... no matter what mood.
We are all spirit souls in different bodies... And the supreme soul is always happy. Always!!

Guilt for your continued survival is one of the stages of grief, so delegate it to its proper place and don't worry about it.
Of course you must understand that when I go I will be looking down yelling ,"Cry you bums! Do you want me to come down and make you!!!!" Coz, I know how it works!!!!

No. That as well as happened to me. It's okay Scooter the range of feelings,emotions are vast..one gets used to them. You have no choice. Til Peace is found. And it comes,slowly but surly. Sends you light..sends you peace..it hugs you..be okay..

Actually, we have to get on with our own lives, and I doubt if the person we're grieving would want us to feel bad for so long.

This is all a part of healing, mourning and moving on. Although it may feel wrong, I'm sure the person you lost would truly WANT you to move on and be happy. =)
*hugs*
