I can only think that the healthiest way to grief is to move up the emotional scale. Don't push down your feelings, let them flow. But over time, start reaching for the best feeling thought, until you eventually accept it, and feel love, freedom, joy, and knowledge again.

When Elizabeth Kübler-Ross famously outlined the five stages of grief in her 1969 book "On Death and Dying," she was careful to give herself a bit of leeway. Not every person will experience all five stages, she noted; nor will those stages necessarily come in the order she prescribed. (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Sadness, Acceptance.) Still, Kübler-Ross posited, a person will always experience at least two

Grief can take time to work thru, depending on circumstances.A way is as Dan mentioned work your way up,but if you know better now what stage you are feeling, that may help.Just feel what you are feeling let them work themselves out.Get out among friends and people even if its hard to do.
I went thru all stages and still dealing...Anyway also try to see something positive, hope this helps in some way.

Some things can't be explained well ,they can only be experienced. I wish you well.
