Grief is a process and can look different from the next person. Oftentimes, we judge our feelings and compare them to others. Your experience is valid and not right or wrong. While there can be some common themes, it is a personal experience that is unique to you. Hold space for yourself without judgement.

We often have feelings, then we judge ourselves for the feeling we are experiencing. We "should" on ourselves. "I shouldn't feel this way, I should feel that way." This is layering your emotional experience with shame. Your feelings are valid. They are your truth.
