Bereavement wipes out everything

Im not recently bereaved but my thoughts today left me remembering how bereavement wipes out everything for a while and how mindnumbing it becomes for anyone in the process of grieving.
The whole world seems to turn to cardboard and it becomes impossible to understand that other people are capable of enjoying their daily lives.
Of course, as we know, these emotions pass and time is a great healer until finally we find we too can look forwards to happier times.
So, for all you people newly bereaved or just hit with memories, this is just to remind you that there is light at the end of the tunnel and grief does eventually fade away.
