We grieve for more than the dead
Just stay strong typically goes hand in hand with the denial phase of grief.
There should be a guilt phase of grief.
Time means little to the act of grieving.

Here is a summary
Depression, anxiety, grief and loss and trauma can be experienced as separate mental health issues.
However, they are also closely connected to each other and often go hand in hand with each other.
Mental health issues are not something that we should be ashamed or embarrassed about. We need to get the help we need, as soon as possible.
Depression, anxiety, grief and loss and trauma are not just feelings you can get over, stop feeling, pull yourself out of. They all trigger a brain response/activity
