Your feelings are not serving you well and making the problem worse. You should dismiss them and just work on solving the issue.

So someone just died and I’m dealing with the grief of that, how do I solve that issue? Are you saying that I’m not allowed to have my grief?

Preventing someone from grieving actually hinders their psychological healing: sometimes you actually have to have feelings and work through them and not just dismiss them.

Grief is a waste of time. This is a lesson to learn to prepare for anyone's death as death is a fact of life. Accept anyone will not be here tomorrow then the next time it happens you will be unaffected and you will be able to continue on with your life. Preparing ahead of time means there is no damage you need to heal from.

Believing you have to be sad and have an emotional response when something that is a certainty just wastes your time and energy.

We as humans must work to evolve past this nonsense.
